For anybody interested there is a 509 page scoping report in with the planning inspectorate.
Some of the content as follows
New Terminal Apron approx 680 x 280 mtrs
Fuel to Apron via hydrant system from new fuel farm connected to existing pipeline east of airport.
4,000,000m3 Earthworks for new site
500,000m3 Landfill removed
New Terminal 40,000m2 possibly two or three storey
34 New stands on Apron. 23 connected by Piers
11 Stands for Code E Aircraft
New Terminal to have same MSCP and drop off facilities as current planned MSCP2
Off site car parks at Parkway and Vauxhall Trailerpark to become MSCPs and either be multi use or staff for connection via DART to Airport
If approved new terminal to be open and accepting 7 Mil pax by 2027.
Various road interchanges planned
What is interesting is a planned boundary change that includes a piece of land becoming under airport control right at the end of 26 ( big enough for a nice little extension)

Construction update
April marks the first anniversary of the official start of the Dart project between the railway station and the terminal. The Dart route is being dug out through the approach lights to runway 08. A signature bridge will cross the airport approach road at this point
.
Work on the construction site for the steelwork for the bridge has seen foundations being laid to support the bridge. Once complete it will be transported to its final location.
Meanwhile by Taxiway Bravo the path of the route can clearly be seen.
Work has started on the construction to temporarily move Taxiway Bravo to the edge of the existing road tunnel
The lift shafts for the second multistory are going in
The multistory has now reached its southern edge but is still to be made wider as it will butt up to the road when complete. Concrete is now being poured in some sections.
Work continues on the new parallel taxiway and de-icing pads.

Reybridge, in part of their work doing Foxtrot, the lighting will be LEDs with this being rolled out throughout other taxiways. Suppose with current summer restrictions then the opportunity arose to do the whole job and reduce running costs.
Along with reduced NEO noice footprints will the summer restictions really be indefinite to quieter aircraft?

As Buster has hinted LLAOL has submitted a planning application to the airport owner (the council) to increase both day and night noise limits as LLAOL can't meet them. When approved (because it will happen) overnight biz jets will return for the summer months from next year.

A signature bridge is a bridge that makes a statement but is now being described as an asymmetric structure and a gateway bridge which will be back lit with LED's. The ski slope is meant to represent an aircraft taking off. Luton has a long history of not building to artists impressions so we will see what the airport ends up with.

I see there was another false fire alarm and a photo of passengers pressed against the outside of the terminal as they have nowhere to go. Anyone remember when the bus caught fire at Stansted? Just hope that doesn't happen at Luton.

And on a lighter note, victorious European Football Champions returned home through Luton Airport yesterday after winning in Germany. LTFC Under 8s that is!

I see both Tromso and Verona on sale by Wizz for winter 2019-20. Some prices for Tromso are already quite steep not so Verona. Regarding football if both Chelsea and Arsenal reach the final of the Europa League it is being held in Baku Azerbaijan on Wednesday 29 May there is going to be a real scramble for aircraft across Europe with the Champions League final being held on the Saturday in Madrid with both Liverpool and Tottenham having a chance to reach the final.

It was quite the same with Kiev last year (?). Although probably fair to say that in normal conditions Baku is going to be quite a lot harder without charters. Wasn’t there a SAA charter from LPL last year?
