Is there any public transport from Luton airport to Luton town centre on the 26th of December?

It seems Luton has more passenger movements today than Stansted thanks to Wizz. It must be many years since that happened. Just stating a fact so no silly comments please.

Without Wizz there would have been only 2 arrivals today excluding biz jets which would have been down on last year. No El-Al I noticed as well.

I like to think that one day the Monarch livery will one day take to the skies once more.
It would be nice but after yesterday’s announcement I think the MAEL brand will soon be gone too. It certainly isn’t flourishing......

Seems to be a bumper day this year in terms of passenger movements - WZZ seem to be operating around 30 departures with the odd one from VLG/TOM.

Why these flights need to operate today I’ve no idea.

Nice quiet day to travel. Also a lot of people are not particularly religious or have another faith other than Christianity.

Anyone at Luton today who can give a comment on Wizz's passenger numbers today ? Healthy loads leading to a likely repeat of flights on 25-Dec-2019 or are the aircraft all half empty ?

The issue for Wizz is that they can only use the stands vacated by Wizz based aircraft and the TUI departure so limiting potential services.

Not every country does 25th, alot do 24th instead, especially in Eastern Europe.

Rumour has it from one of the ground handling companies that the Xmas day Wizz flights were initially loaded by mistake into the booking system! Apparently a lot of the crews who were subsequently rostered for the 25th were not impressed!

But only by enough to allow for the stands vacated by Wizz based aircraft. On a normal day Wizz needs to use the stands vacated by the first wave of Easyjet departures so makes the story seem unlikely.

Considering that Wizz had a considerable flying programme beside flights to/from UK as LTNman says the rumour seems very unlikely.

As MAEL were not working and Storm had to come up from Gatwick to cover, was the rumour from an already unhappy MAEL ground crew member?

No not from MAEL.....

Considering Wizz is now MAEL's primary source of work for the based Line Engineers, surely the program would have been supported by them on Xmas day if it had been correctly planned in advance!
