This was the crossing point across the old bus station and shows just arriving passengers crossing the road. Departing passengers at that time went in a different direction.
A fair number of flights in the last few days to/from NUM - Neom Bay in Saudi Arabia. As this is on the Red Sea coast opposite Sharm el Sheik, were these flights associated with Saudi's recent launch of itself as a holiday destination?

I see that BBC have picked up the airport expansion story and those that are objecting to Tinminal 2 being built on their door step. I bet T2 doesn't get a glass front!

Note: Check my messaged correctly! It did tell me 'of' Hurghada. Thus where it is based.
Looks like Neom Bay is going to be a very exciting destination in years to come!
As a bit of Saudi money goes into Egypt, I'm sure they are thinking, we'll have some of that! Toursim, e-gaming, sports all high on agenda.

FlyBosnia
Report on the web that if FlyBosnia leaves Sarajevo, it might not be at the choice of the airline. Sarajevo airport apparently has concerns about the money owed by the airline to the airport.
I imagine Luton will have asked for some sort of security deposit from the airline to cover the various airport fees, but one wonders about the long-term financial situation between FlyBosnia and Luton, and how long Luton will have direct flights to Bosnia

There’s going to be an extraordinary demand for staff to get the Neom project up and running. Construction, architects, all kinds of consultants. Not just putting together the overall infrastructure but the ‘nuts and bolts’ - every individual hotel, retail complex etc, housing development for workers etc . Before that you’ll need the infrastructure and accommodation for those building it. Expect a lot of private charters for some time.

LTN Terminal 2
Hi everyone. New to PPRuNE. Just been reading up on the (proposed) LTN expansion, including the provision of terminal 2. Having travelled through LTN many times previously, and in spite of the redevelopment, it is clear that the current facility is unfit for purpose, with passenger numbers increasing and a desperate lack of space in the light of forecasted passenger throughflow.
So a second terminal would definitely help to free up some space in the existing terminal, and hopefully aid to enhance the experience for the passenger. As regards terminal 2, does anyone think it likely that this would come equipped with jet bridges? I do realise that LTN is largely perceived as a leisure/low cost hub, but having jet bridges in place would be a welcome provision for some existing carriers (e.g. EL AL, TUI, FlyBosnia) and may help to attract new operators to the airport if investment into new facilities is made.
Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Also, are there any detailed links to the proposed second terminal? (as I can't seem to find much info on this)

JW95.....queing to board RYR on wednesday morning in drizzling rain the conversation with a chap behind me centered around just the topic of jet bridges and enhancing the customer experience at the perceived 'low cost' Luton Airport.

Part of the route on the south side of the drop off zone is 2 way traffic just to make it interesting . Then depending which lanes you use there is a 180 degree turn to face the barriers which now has no tailback buffer zone. Not content with that there is then another 180 degree turn to get to the road where 8 lanes become 2 in just a few metres. Oh and 4 pedestrian crossings with 4 sets of traffic lights that face 3 different directions depending on location.
Anyone using lane 8 barrier will have a tough time completing a 3 metre 180 turn but the real test will come next summer.
