[Powerjet1]

Easy seem to have added Catania from Luton from 30 March.

Cool, Ryanair started Ragusa from STN this year which is just a volcano away from Catania. Seems like from London every part of Sicily is covered now.

Anyone heard anything more about the former Aerlingusaran ATR routes.. still surprised no concrete replacement has been found. Surely the demand is there.. Someone lease a J31/Metro/Random small prop lets make some money. I kid.

CARPATAIR

Reading up on CARPATAIR on Luton's website, i see that CARPATAIR is nearly 100% owned by swiss shareholders! ironic seeing as it's one of Romania's main airlines.

Wigmore field

Has anybody heard anything about the expansion of the piers out onto the wigmore park and practice fire plane area?

Capacity expansion

I've heard that ethihad have expanded weekly flights at Manchester to a 777, so does anybody think any airlines will follow suit with a bigger plane or more flights over the christmas period?

^^If you press "edit" on your last post if you are posting consecutively and just write all your questions in 1 part I think it will save you from the hassel you are likely to get on here mate lol.

On radar 24 the Fedex did that 3 times apparently.. I guess they are testing "stuff". No idea about the rest of your questions. I Dont get your point about Carpatair being Swiss owned either. Arent Monarch owned by a Swiss chap? Whats the biggy. Confusing stuff.

[LTNman]

Agree, four paragraphs would have been better than 4 posts,

[Aluminium shuffler]

Not if you're trying to get your post count up!

[Boeing737-8]

Will they be any more airlines or routes for summer 2014 talk about Pegasus but nothing has changed

Cheers

Cheers for the advice guys, I am new here so am still getting used to it!

As for the fedex, yeah I don't get why it did it either, must just be routine testing?

luton airport sham’ tendering process

tender process for coach links between London Luton Airport and central London was a sham. Hope the link works.richard

Luton Airport Operations sees Arriva accuse it at court of ?sham? tendering process | The Economic Voice

The Fedex is in for MX. That is, fixing problems and checking for potential problems. After being worked-on the aircraft has an airtest.
In this case, the airtest seems to have been a useful exercise in helping to check that a problem was fully resolved.
Good job those professionals at Monarch do things properly - I guess that's why they are attracting business from around the world.

[Buster the Bear]

Palermo and Catania were regular Monarch 1-11 destinations for Citalia and Pegasus. Market was there in the 1980s and still is.

& Air UK Leisure, Sabre, British Midland.. charter of course.

No surprise with Bedford, Hoddesdon & Bletchley so close to LTN. (Yes I realize Hoddesdon is closer to STN but its still close to LTN.)

The only airline at the airport which will increase for the Christmas period is El al and maybe a few thomson flights to Lapland
