Despite LLAOL spending £160million on increasing capacity arrivals is operating at 50% over capacity in its peak hour. There are also runway constraints as LLAL decided not to put in new taxiways that went to the ends of the runway.

I don’t think these flights will be a success but I hope to be proved wrong. I’ve been to Moscow and would encourage anyone interested in visiting to do so while the flights last and they’re cheap.

Wizz
Looks like Wizz have got many slots at LGW and even some slots at STN. Tuesday 16th should see the confirmed allocated slots. Wizz were linked with buying the TC LGW slots so we will have to see over the next week what the final outlook is for the winter.

I doubt that number of slots will ever be available at LGW again unless they get the approval for second runway. EZY run the same routes from 4 London airports so why should not WZZ do similar to their other bases? But then again a T2 at Luton has got to attract a doubling of based aircraft by both and RYR I would think.

I agree with you that T2 would result in Wizz and Easy and Ryanair increasing their fleets but equally in line with planned growth I would not be surprised in Jet2 coming on board at LTN with a small fleet. What are your views in relation to Wizz operating A321LR as I reckon they will operate long haul from LTN.

Also don’t forget if, and it’s still a big if, the airport does get T2 then who gets which Terminal.They are unlikely to split Easy or Wizz flights between both Terminals so as they are the dominant airlines at the airport will they get one Terminal each with the other airlines split between ? Plans show several stands for long haul at T2 so the airport are still keen to attract them.
Would a T2 have any kind of transit facilities? Would any airline at Luton need them?
Several years before the A321XLRs are delivered so anything could happen in the mean time.
One thing for sure is the airport isn’t standing still, five years plus of a building site and doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon.

If Wizz decided to fly long haul from the UK they would use their slots at Gatwick if they have any sense. Gatwick has shown that providing a quality product pays dividends as they have a diverse long haul market. Luton is only interested in the Eastern European market and the very bottom of the European market with its cheap infrastructure. IT services out of Luton continue to fall as holidaymakers retreat to Gatwick and Stansted as demand drops away. With Luton’s short runway why would Wizz want to use Luton when there are far better airports that could handle long haul better?
