Considering the UK is going to turn to a dust bowl if we dare to Brexit, I am most surprised that a French company is buying into Lgw. Do they not understand they could lose all their investment? Or do they think it might not be as bad as the doom mongers would have us believe? Bit of a statement, isn't it?

I keep reading that there were bad predictions but I feel that's die hard Leavers preparing to tell the world that even if 25% of people lose their jobs (not a genuine prediction) at least planes haven't fallen out of the skies as per the worst of the fake predictions.
Getting back to Gatwick, Vinci haven't been involved with BFS for long so not really a yardstick. Gatwick is a certainly a level above their current operations though

Turkish Airlines seem to be pretty content with Lgw. Next summer they will operate to Istanbul, 2 airports, Ankara, Antalya and Bodrum. Wonder if Dalaman and Izmir might make an appearance for them at some point?

Drone Dome removed?
I see all the military grade stuff has now been removed!
What on earth was that BUFFOON Grayling on about when he said 10 days ago ALL our major airports including LGW were "being" protected ?
I must confess I was highly suspicious then and even more so now. I assumed this was a wake up call and the coverage of that and indeed other sensitive installations would be protected.
It's absolute bunkum.
So what next ?

Both LGW & LHR have purchased millions of pounds of military-grade anti-drone equipment it is reported.
LGW confirmed two days ago that it has spent £5m on new equipment that is thought to include scanners,jammers & radars.

It’s almost certain the Vueling slots are being swapped internally with BA holdings as applicable so trying to pin down a specific slot to one in previous season operated and used by someone else is imho fundamentally flawed.

It'll be interesting to see how they are going to work the 'jammers' into the mix. Most civil drones operate on the 2.4 or 5.8 GHz spectrum. If they start jamming things it will play all sorts of havoc with lots of domestic devices. WiFi and Bluetooth being the most obvious.

Not official as of yet, however according to the link it seems likely Indigo will finally commence operations to LGW in March.
