And there is an flight to go direct from LHR to TLV a little later! Usually a 739 around that time, perhaps bookings so strong from Luton that it justified the upgrade?

I see that Wizz are starting service to Minsk from Budapest. Is there anywhere Wizz have started service to (beyond the ‘Iron Curtain’) that hasn’t gone on to be served from LTN? This is a fascinating destination I’d be interested in visiting!

El Al must have an allocation of night slots to accommodate their LY314 which operates 5 nights a week, STD 2330 local time, often delayed past midnight.

Has got to be on the cards, only direct route is through LGW
Wizz fly to Astana / NurSultan (renamed earlier this year) from Budapest. Never been linked to Luton nonstop by Wizz but probably out of commercially viable range with an A320 family aircraft anyway
Baku and Nis could be candidates for a Luton route
Rumour on the web that FlyBosnia will link Sarajevo to London - but both Gatwick and Luton thought to be in the running for these flights
Worth remembering that not all Wizz routes from Luton to central / eastern Europe work. Both Kharkiv and Tuzla have been dropped

So with G-WUKK having arrived, Wizzair now have 11 UK registered planes (G-WUKB through G-WUKL) made up of 7xA321 and 4xA320. Whilst they are all based at LTN, Wizzair has an interesting schedule which means only 9 of them require stands overnight. Last night, for example, G-WUKG was travelling to/from Constanta overnight and didn't arrive back to LTN until 07.05 (then departed to Bratislava at 11.10) and G-WUKL was travelling to/from Suceava overnight and landed back at LTN at 07.15 (then departed to Porto at 10.25). Nice use of scheduling given how full the overnight parking is.

Allegedly in place. A few blind eyes have been turned like the European Cup Finals. https://www.signatureflight.com/even...noise-closures

I see the airport has increased its commercial passenger movements for winter 2019-20 by 430 to 38,778 from 38,348. If this has been reported before please accept my apologies.

ELAL 777 26 Intersection
I an confirm that I have witnessed at Dane Street (26/08 runway view) that quite a few ELAL 777 do indeed take off at the intersection 26 and seem to be airborne by the Firestation.
