There can be no doubt that the Council has reintroduced subsidies that ended when the airport reached capacity.
Noted that all of the new routes announced by Wizz and Easyjet are to holiday destinations and none to Eastern Europe apart from Vanra, which is a holiday destination on the Black Sea, which must reflect the UK finally leaving the EU.
The jam appears to be spreading thinner next year so will anyone be making money particularly when the UK will be in a massive recession if the reports are to be believed.

Did I say it was a bad thing? Does sound like the Council is panicking as it stares into the face of bankruptcy. The accounts show the rebates come from the Council while the airport operator says thank you very much.

Wizz will know the market cannot grow, as we are out of the EU transition period 2 months later. More of a case of shutting out Blue Air so Luton is even more reliant on Wizz and their demands for ever bigger discounts.

I don't think Luton is the focus of what Wizz are doing
Blue Air currently fly from Bacau to:
Bergamo, Brussels, Dublin, Luton, Rome FCO and Turin
Wizz will fly from Bacau to:
Bergamo, Brussels-Charleroi, Luton, Rome FCO, Turin and 7 other cities
Wizz don't fly to Dublin, not even from Budapest
Wizz seem to be trying to take over from Blue Air in Bacau

However, the Blue air timings are better with the morning departure. The Wizz timings are below:
BCM 1850-2015 LTN (Daily)
LTN 2045-0155+1 BCM (Daily)
Has anyone seen or got a link to the ACL LTN Winter 20 report?
Thanks

Luton down to 6 airlines then.
So out of those 6 which was the last airline to arrive at Luton and when?
Luton seems very poor at attracting new airlines over the last 10 years which have stayed the distance. Actually they have been very poor in attracting any new airlines including those that failed or pulled out.

How do you get just 6 airlines ? I count 8...
Blue Air, Easyjet, El Al, Ryanair, SunExpress, TUI, Vueling and Wizzair
On your main point, I agree that Luton seems to be dependent on very few airlines given the number of passengers that passed through its doors in 2019
