Re TCX
Looks like the Innsbruck flight is a one off on 3rd Sep - STN has a Geneva flight on the same day.
FUE could be a one off or go into the winter schedule as it's planned for Oct 16/23.
Time will tell!

Enabling work continues on the DART project before construction work begins.

If I understand the policy on night flights correctly, it will presumably be the end of the Champions League teams using Luton as per the Blue Panorama last night which had an approved departure slot of 2355 (and actually took off at 0156). All such flights can only be described as "ad-hoc" given that the teams involved won't know 6 months in advance when and where they are playing.

I take more than a passing interest in sports charters with Arsenal and Watford both using Luton for international and domestic flights with teams playing at both venues from Liverpool, Swansea etc. flying into Luton. As far as Arsenal are concerned (Europa League) there next match is in Moscow and if they reach the final that will be played in Lyon this year in May so that should have no effect. Regarding the Champions League only Manchester City and Liverpool are left in and playing each other in the next round. If Liverpool reach the final - to be played in Kiev - there could be a small number of charters from London airports but dare I say if Man City reach the final very few indeed.
Looking further ahead to the European Championships in 2020 both semi-finals and the final are to be played at Wembley. Also there is talk of the Super Bowl final being played at Wembley - that will be interesting!
Also Ruby Union teams (Saracens and Northampton) regularly fly from Luton as well as a number of charters involved in Formula One races in Europe. They all have to fly from somewhere in the south east.

Number of complaints in 2016 slightly under 4000.
Number of complaints in 2017 slightly over 15000.
Funny that.
The airport said in 2016 it started a "Noise Insulation Scheme", which can offer double glazing, secondary glazing, and insulation to residents.
Last year, 38 properties were insulated with more planned for this year.

Most of the complaints come from just a handful of people. The number one location for complaints is actually St Albans who like the convenience of Luton as long as the aircraft don’t fly near their houses.
The issue is that the aircraft now follow narrow corridors rather than the noise being shared out.

Airport noise
Both the airport management and LBC have acknowledged in the past that most complaints are by the same individuals. From St Albans train station I can see some LTN flights to the north and hear a faint engine sound but I love to watch LHR traffic heavies climbing overhead on full power once clearance is given to begin their main climb! If anyone wants to hear real aircraft noise then Elstree and Borehamwood and Radlet get it all day long and not a murmur from it's residents!

Do I understand this correctly, 15000 complaints by just a few individuals? Even if it was 100 people that's one complaint every two days. They must be making their own lives miserable if that becomes the focus of their day.

BBC News says 15,000 in 3 years Noise complaints soar at London Luton Airport - BBC News and "Just 20 people were behind 72% of complaints while almost half of all complaints (6,700) came from the same five residents in Harpenden"
Then "Complaints rose from 441 in 2015, to 1,024 in 2016 and 1,485 in 2017 and campaigners said they had "not seen any changes" in noise reduction. " so I think this is number of single individuals?

Yes, just read that myself. Unbelievable. On average making four complaints a day each. They perhaps should move for their own mental health. Liked the quote on BBC about noise moving sideways too.
