From what I've heard is causing some issues with 08 ILS system, but it is not confirmed by any reliable source

I hope this is just a rehash of a 2017 rumour......

Sounds like complete rubbish. Just like the rumour about the wrong type of lifts being installed that were not waterproof and that the car park needed a sprinkler system installed because the fire service could not fight a car fire. The fact that it is fully open means it is structurally alright.

The DART is meant to pass to one side of it and not under it as per one rumour that seemed to come from the car park bus drivers.

The ILS issue was fixed last year and the fact that the new multistory will be bigger than the existing seems to dispel that as an issue as well.

Going back to the DART still no real start has been made apart from a few pegs being put into the ground close to Parkway

Buster..... what can I say

Does anyone know what routes Easyjet will be doing with the new a321 235 seater neo? First few aircraft will be based between Luton and Gatwick.

Most likely Tel Aviv.

None of them are being based at LTN, at least for the foreseeable future.

Wonder where the maintenance will be carried out? Doubt it would fit in their Luton hangar.

I was speaking with EasyTech about it and they say they will be able to fit 321's in the hangar.

I have worked on B757s in there hangar many years ago, so a A321 should fit unless they have reduced the hangar floor area since then.

Where did you hear that about Wizz taking one of the Monarch hangars?
It is news to us who use the hangars, there was talk of them taking some area in the office building 105, but that l hear is not happening.

Why???? No logic to that so again hard to believe. Why build a taxiway to increase the runway capacity only to reduce the runway capacity.

Wizzair UK to take a Monarch hangar.
Line maintenance is already done by Monarch http://www.mro-network.com/airlines/...ance-agreement
Would have thought it would be cheaper to let a third party do it like Monarch then go the the expense of taking on a hangar and staff for its Luton operation



Born 2016-died 2018 RIP


The remaining bridge has suffered battle damage over the new road to the flyover



Looks like the hording fronting the burger outlet landside is about to be removed.

What an utter shambles. Having worked at Luton more than half my life, I’ve no idea why any of these botched construction projects still surprise me

Interesting as that is not what a cabin supervisor for EasyJet told me a few months ago- then she thought there would be 2/3 based and was looking at any training
requirements. I'll check again.

Looks like BlueAir have dropped their direct service to Cluj although you can still go via OTP if you desire or direct with Wizz. Birmingham to Cluj has also been axed by BlueAir.c

My sources tell me planedrive was correct. Easy 321s based LGW for the foreseeable future due allegedly to stand space/fflexibility issues.

the A321’s were never planned to start commercial flying from Luton. The first group will be based at Gatwick and the second group will be in Orly or Geneva. They will not be spread around the bases like the A320 fleet.

People are like sheep, it doesn't matter how many times the fire exit doors are closed someone will open it within seconds and then passengers queue in an orderly line to enter or leave the terminal despite standing next to the automated doors. Always interesting to watch someone who has a full size case in each hand battle to get into or out of the terminal when the gap is only around a metre. Oh and in the background can be seen just one of many smokers trying out their new unofficial smokers shelter. I have already had a moan about it but was told that as soon as people are moved on a new group forms so they have given up trying to enforce the ban.

Vueling.

Could LTN be losing them at the end of the winter schedule?
Nothing bookable on any routes from April 2019 , yet all other UK airports are loaded.
I take it Vigo and San Sebastián aren't operating this summer either?
The domination of the two getting stronger��
