I still don’t understand why an International Airport wants to brand away from its designated IATA code and brand itself using another Airports code LLA is the code for Luleå Airport (LLA) in Sweden.
If an unsuspecting passengers Google’s LLA the top results show Luton Airport it is not inconceivable the someone could end up in LTN expecting to land at LLA.
Is it even legal to Brand under another Airports code ?

Not sure about it Bus shelter but it has 3 Jet Bridges and if you google Luleå and go to images the place look stunning and I’m definitely adding it to my list of places to visit 👍

Now you might have expected management to have thought similar, but then again..........

But what ever you use it still doesn’t make sense to market and re brand LTN as LLA its madness and should have been brought up in the planning stages I’m not picking on Luton Southend is also a culprit but they have an excuse as they are new and probably don’t even know the importance of the IATA code.

Photos taken from almost the same spot with the second photo taken a few paces back into the new build exactly 18 year apart to the day. A careful look at the ceiling in the second photo shows the red beams as reference. The first photo was taken with a slight telephoto lens while the second used a slight wide angle lens. In those days the terminal had a clear ceiling design with services below ground.

I see that the old Monarch HQ has been sold for £4.26 million by the administrators. Secured creditors will be paid including Petrol Jersey Limited which is connected to Greybull will receive £50 million but unsecured creditors will get nothing!

Yes but we don't know to who. The site is fenced off but work has yet to start. There are no planning applications submitted so I doubt it would be sold for a change of use without getting the wink. At the moment the indications are that it will remain an office block and with its prime location inside the airport it could be speculated it will end up with a link to aviation remaining.

Apart from that no other information but will definitely stay as office block.

I'll believe it when I see it:
Direct Amritsar, London flight next year: UK MP - The Tribune India
Anyone else able to add any more meat to this?
They refer to providing low-cost and direct services to India from Luton, that really does not go hand-in-hand with the airport infrastructure... Low cost to me would mean a high density configuration aircraft and that along with an aircraft type that could fly direct/non-stop would struggle to operate from airports runway!

They've been promising this route for about 2 years now but to STN not LTN.

If this route does indeed happen the likelihood is it will be Indigo.
They will be taking delivery of their first A321neo at year end I believe and with their intention to fly to the UK already stated it does seem to make sense.Would be a long old journey though with the stopover, some what 10+ hrs in a single aisle, high density layout.
Big Indian population around Luton so they will probably be hoping this does happen.
