Jordan is pushing tourism quite hard now and has a growing middle class so this will probably work ok.

Whenever there is a pay dispute at the airport, which is often, we never get any support from Labour councillors in Luton despite their trade union backgrounds. Maybe as they represent the owners they become capitalists.

I thought we were reacting to post #1985 which is to do with an outstanding £500 payment rather than having a general political discussion about the whole of the airline industry and the customer wanting to pay £9.99 to fly everywhere and the knock on affect that has?

It’s called the bigger issue. The owner with its trade union roots never supports the workers working at its airport.

If I worked for Poundland and that shop happened to be owned by the council would I expect them to step in?
If you are directly employed by council fair enough but this dispute is nothing to do with that.
If you don't like your councillor's vote them out at next local elections but they are not going to get involved.

The owner and the operator of London Luton Airport has announced the return of a new, improved and greener local hackney carriage service at the terminal.
The move has come about as part of the joint new partnership agreement signed by the parties
Of the new arrangements, Councillor Javeria Hussain, chair of Luton Rising, the Luton Council company that owns the airport, said: “This is a hugely welcome step to support local employment as our company focuses on demonstrating with everything that we do how we are much more than an airport, and continuing to provide maximum economic and social benefit into the local area.

To work on an airport taxi rank you need an additional license issued by local authority on private land.
Does the employer GH Handling have any such agreement for its employees with airpor?
If Wizzair say enough is enough and terminate their contract where does that leave the employees? This is no different from any other airport.
Note as this article says, employees are not employed by LLA https://airlinergs.com/wizz-air-luto...strike-action/

Construction update
Due to the angle of the sun, taking photos was a nightmare. Started in June, the Dart forecourt at Parkway is making slow progress. It was meant to be a 12 week project.
Maybe one third complete
The road layout at the station has yet to be started apart from drainage.
The new 4 stand apron under construction with part of Harrods in the background
With Taxiway Delta closed it is being used for biz jet parking.
