Madrid Flights
Does anyone have a full list of Madrid flights by airline and type of aircraft?
I have seen someone has put a list on the STN forum and think many of us on here would be interested to see the LTN flights.

Using the AENA planning tool I can see the following departures from LTN:-

IBE2565. IBERIA --:-- - LONDRES /LUTON (LTN) 21:20 - MADRID-BARAJAS ADOLFO SUÁREZ (MAD)

I did read somewhere there was more than what's above but not seen any confirmation of these.

I think Luton was 1st or 2nd choice for alot of the planned flights but it just could not handle them all so went from other London airports instead.

Construction update
This is the third of four sections of the Gateway bridge being lifted onto trusses. Each section then had two dart track bases laid either side which can be seen on two lorries waiting to be lifted.
Photo shows four sections of bridge complete with eight sections track base.
The bridge will have a curve.
It is going to be an interesting day when the completed bridge is transported to site and then lifted into position as both the A1081 and airport spur road will have to be closed. I am also wondering what the complete structure will weigh, how big the cranes will have to be and whether the runway will close for the lift? The completed bridge will be back lit by LED's
Down at Parkway Station the start of the dart trackbed is taking shape either side of a central platform.
At the airport a new temporary walkway to the drop off zone is being installed under the walkway to the car park. The Dart will pass underneath this point.
Work carries on in digging out the dart route. In the background can be seen a lorry carrying parts of the third core of the second multi-story.
Worth remembering that the council is borrowing £225 million to build the dart but hopes to get the new concessionaire to eventually cough up the dosh and pay the council back.
Photos shown are a combination of mine and time lapse photos provided by the contractor.

I’m guessing the completed road bridge for the train link will be missing the fancy ski jump and lights, otherwise it will affect minima for landing 08 and affect takeoff performance from 26

What happened to the summer night time restrictions that were meant to have started on June 1st? No NOTAM, business jets still arriving overnight and 3 Iberia flights were due to come in at 03:05, 03.40 and 04:30 when the airport is meant to have no spare overnight stands and which shouldn't have been allowed.
According to the latest Private Eye(!), the airport has applied for a temporary (5 year!!) relaxation of the noise limits.
The article makes the link previously made here between the airport owner and the planning authority...

The council are not fit or proper to decide any planning application regarding the airport as they have a vested interest. LLAOL seek an exemption and reward for failing to comply with a somewhat relaxed night time limit that was set by the council in the belief that it could not be broken. The question has to be asked has the council prompted LLAOL to put this application in?

It’s very common for Councils to determine their own applications as they are the planning authority for that area. This can be anything from a disabled ramp at a library to a new multi-million pound Town Hall. They have to be decided at Committee though rather than by officers which at least gives some transparency and accountability. Of course if something was particularly contentious it’s likely the local MP or other body would request the Secretary of State calls it in.

I would suggest that you don't believe for a moment that the planning and development committee members have an open mind before deciding planning applications from LLAL or LLAOL. They are a rubber stamp for council policy and would not vote against their own council.

The lovely new road to Century Park, sorry Terminal 2 is an example of self interest and the need to raise the town debt toward £1bn on airport related expenditure!

See the last part of my statement. If it’s a stitch-up and something that shouldn’t be allowed it would get called in and determined by the independent Inspectorate (or challenged in the Courts). If it’s something that should be allowed but the Council/Councillors are unreasonably refusing it, it can be appealed to the Inspectorate. So one way or another there *should* be a robust and defendable decision. Whatever it is there will be people that don’t like it, but that doesn’t make it unjust.

Many applications regarding the council voting on their own LLAL planning applications have been requested to be called in.
According to the local rag Century Park, which is actually about building the roads to terminal 2 was even voted through by a councillor who sits on a management committee of a charity that has received £750,000 from LLAL. Seems he didn’t think he should have declared an interest.
