A quick visit today to collect some friends - could Signature fit any more planes in their FBO area?
Harrods in the distance similar.
I have said it before, time for more concrete irrespective of pax cap!
Everyone seems to fly a Global or Gulfstream now and Luton seems to be the place to come North of the river!

Ex Monarch Hangars
So the Airport Operator now owns the ex Monarch Engineering facilities.

Don't Netjets currently lease one and Wizzair UK another?
New Tenants lined up for the bigger 767 capable one?

The Monarch hangars that were up for sale were hangar 9, 60 and 127. Netjet are in hangars 7 and 8. I think those hangars are owned by Luton Rising aka Luton Council.

Another point worth mentioning is that the LLAOL franchise ends in I think 2033. This is just another sign that there will be no tendering process, which will act against the public interest for council taxpayers.
While LLAOL are buying hangars LRT are spending millions building a mezzanine floor in the departure lounge. Now I always thought it was the operator that was meant to spent money on the terminal?

As for the new mezzanine floor, the rent gets paid to whom? I suspect LRT, not LLAOL.

The point I was making is why would LLAOL buy 3 hangars at an airport that they might be kicked out of if the franchise went to tender, and not the fact that almost bankrupt LRT didn’t buy them, as I wouldn’t have expected them to.
So why did LLAOL pay for the shops and food outlets to be built in the terminal extension but LRT is paying for the mezzanine floor extension that will allow for a larger food outlet? Why did LLAOL fund the building of the multistory car parks but LRT fund the Dart? Who paid for the latest apron? It is impossible to separate the companies now regarding who pays for what.

Found this, might be of interest to a few on the thread.
£8M for the new Sanford Bar and Restaurant paid by you know who.

It’s only a matter of time before the Council and LRT both go bankrupt with the council borrowing an additional £116.8m for allegedly non airport projects. Meanwhile LLAOL are waiting to pounce, as they are the only ones doing well from the airport as they milk the loss making LRT.

Only 2 of the hangars were suitable for aircraft but they both suffered from blocked airside access. Who knows what the big plan is but demolition can’t be ruled out as many Luton hangars have suffered that fate over the years.

Interesting to see the previous lease rates!.........Given the new owners, I'm sure some discounted deals may now be offered!

I heard joint venture with Technik, save sending planes to Diamond Hangar st STN.
Thinking back, of the two aircraft capable hangers could the smaller take a 757? With a curtain airline being 321 only now it actually might make sense to drop the lot and start again using full footprint. But then again why didn't MAEL do that rather than build a fresh facility at BHX?

I think an issue was the airports extortionate charges for apron parking after 2 hours, as Luton didn’t like stands occupied by aircraft in for maintenance and again blocked access to the hangars.

Heard some adverts for Luton Rising in between podcasts today - advertised as Luton Rising - the socially ethnical airport (or something similar).
It got me thinking, what's the point of those adverts? I doubt it makes people think 'I'll fly from Luton.' Is it just to help their DCO application?

I would say more directed at the pax who has a choice of which airport to use for their travel needs.
