Air Nostrum flights to Vigo, now in booking engine, twice weekly, but only for the peak summer period, 15 July to 27 September. Also flight times seem to be mid to late afternoon, depending on the day.

Luton-Vigo:
There seems to be a couple of round trips on 30-March and 04-April - these dates may well have something to do with Easter which falls in early April this year. There are also 2 flights per week from mid July to late September.

?We were no more than 300ft from the tarmac?: Planes forced to abort landings at the last minute after Luton Airport incident - Luton Today

A passenger knows the exact height they were at go-around and STN struggles with just 2 extra inbounds!!

Ms Fowler said: “It was chaotic at passport control.
That is apparently normal these days at Stansted

Congratulations on bagging La Compagnie's new LON(LTN)-EWR flights. Came up trumps against LGW/STN, well done.

As a spotter I also feel it's worth thanking the 757 for making it all possible

No confirmation about Luton or anywhere else but they have arranged slots at Gatwick with Luton and Stansted as a plan B The £1,000 return business-class flights from London to New York - Telegraph unless EK77WNCL knows something the Telegraph doesn't

Here is a screenshot and quotation from their newsletter. I received it this afternoon:

Gyazo - 8c5dfc17daa836c8c99c349e4f36aad8.png

"NEW YORK – LONDON BOOKINGS OPENING
After just six months connecting New York to Paris, La Compagnie is pleased to announce that bookings for our all-business class flights from New York (EWR) to London (LTN) open next month. Flights to London begin March 29th – you can start booking those flights from early February. Mark your calendars!"

I'd love to try them one day, and I wish this one the best of luck.

If true that will get up the noses of MAG at Stansted and will be a major blow to them as they try to get long haul back to the Essex outpost.

Wow, quite a coup for LTN. I hope it's a success.

Will passengers use the main terminal or is the old Silverjet facility still available?

The Silverjet terminal is now a staff airside entrance and even that is set to go and become a baggage belt.

Presumably a dedicated lounge will be created within the terminal,along with dedicated check in and fast track security for passengers using the service.

Will this be a daily service I wonder?

I'm really pleased for Luton to be honest, although I was kind of rooting for LGW. But I'm actually more pleased. I'm sure there will be some kind of dedicated process for the passengers and I'm sure that with Luton's popularity with bizjets and past success with Silverjet that La Compagnie and it's passengers will be very happy.

Hopefully one day it might divert to Newcastle
