Milan
Easyjet are just announcing a new base at Milan. LTN due to increase to 3 daily in Summer 21 from the current 10 weekly.
With the new Wizz route we will see 5 daily from LTN in Summer 21 to MXP.

Did easyJet operate Milan MXP at the same time Ryanair had their double-daily to BGY? Or did EZY start it after?
Yes, this has a feeling of another Copenhagen - although there is FR/W6 &EZY on Krakow, Lanzarote and Tenerife.

I am hearing that there is little social distancing in and around the terminal, especially related to the inbound Wizz passengers.
Flying is safe when I can go to a pub, restaurant, cinema or football match and not have to social distance. Face masks, as we all know are worn for show, not effectiveness.

The staff are as bad as the passengers while the passengers from the eastern nations just don’t get it. If anyone is worried about catching Coronavirus then stay away from Luton.
There is a rumour that airport management has no intention of reducing the hourly terminal capacity to reflect social distancing. Even now passengers bunch up but it will take just a few departures leaving at a similar time in July and August to cause general issues in the departure lounge when all the retail outlets are closed.

The total death toll of around 5,500 is about 13% of the UK’s ‘official’ toll, or about 8% of our actual figure. Let that sink in. That is the death toll for all the ‘eastern’ nations combined (excluding Russia) including those Wizz don’t fly from. The population of Ukraine and Poland on their own is about 12 million higher than us. Really quite sobering when you look at it like that.

We have to remember that many Eastern European nations have such low numbers because they closed their borders keeping the virus out while we kept ours open.
The airlines and business leaders that are moaning now about UK quarantine would have moaned even more if we acted like those enlightened nations when U.K. cases were low. New Zealand led the way and is seen as a success but if we were as tough as them and and acted as early as them then the likes of O’Leary would have called it an over reaction. Also New Zealand still has closed borders to keep the virus out which was introduced mid March.
Back to Luton, today there are 3 departures within 40 minutes and in the afternoon 2 departures 10 minutes apart. I would have thought even those departures are risky due to the inability to social distance in the departure lounge but that is nothing compared to sitting on an aircraft.

Paxing All Over The World
Australia has had 102 deaths.
Early close of borders, compulsory quarantine in hotels paid by govt cost several billion. Seems like a price worth paying.

Wizz has suggested that many of its UK passengers are holidaymakers despite essential travel only advice from the government. I would think Wizz is hoping that passengers won’t be put off by 14 day quarantines which I would think most will just ignore unless there is early news of £1000 fines.

The council, due to its airport, is holding an emergency budget next month. LBC will be looking to cut council jobs and council services to stave off bankruptcy while at the same time pumping even more money into its airport.
The council still needs to spend an extra £20m for the Development Consent Order and find £124m for the first phase of the road to the location of the second terminal. Seems that the council residents will be paying a high price and there was I thinking the airport was meant to put money into the councils coffers.
Lets not forget the £30m already spent on the DCO and the £225m the council has borrowed to fund the Dart that does not increase the airports existing capacity and does not benefit the councils taxpayers.
As for the existing social services, Luton has already been condemned this year by OFSTED for its appalling children’s social services with its lowest rating and this is before the latest cuts.
