Looking at Flight Radar 24 the aircraft was airborne for just about 4 hours and did 6 circuits of Luton. Not exactly green and costly for Airbus but the big question is indeed why?

Just waiting for the publicity photo from LRT of a Dart train with a Beluga flying over the top.
Talking about the Dart, it seems that the new name for the proposed separate company running the Dart will be DARTCo. A company with the same name was registered to a pub in Wolverhampton in 2020. I wonder if they know?

More good news for Luton Rising! Inevitable that passenger numbers will decline when there are forecasts that annual energy bills could shoot well past £4,000 in 2023.

I was hoping for somewhere like Nis or Yerevan
Luton-Casablanca seems to have been cancelled before the route even started

I wonder which routes have been trimmed for these new routes, what next Dammam KSA?
If the US does not play ball (well unions) then those 321LRs will be put to use somewhere. Doubt that will last long though now JetBlue & Spirit are merging with ULCC model. More of a battle to come, might Luton pick up some US work?

Lufthansa not normally known to use Luton but one booked for tomorrow- usually one of their subsidiaries.
Iberia Express as well today from Munich. Football related no doubt.

This might interest Pabely. I was told a week ago from a contact that work is about to start on a new apron to the west of Delta in the former temporary drop off zone. New stands or replacements for the Pond stands that are used for night stoppers that could allow Signature to once again occupy the whole apron overnight instead of part of it? At the moment I have no idea.

I would have thought it was obvious where the slots for the new winter routes come from: the end of summer services to Corfu, Zayakinthos etc plus reductions in flights to Palma, Faro et Al.

Wizz are haemorrhage money with quarterly losses to June 30th of €453m. New routes are being created by cutting back on existing frequencies. The bigger story is their continued march at Gatwick that is effecting Luton numbers.

My point is which routes have been trimmed?
That march is only a little stole at the moment due to them not being able to obtained the slots they want at LGW.
Unless someone else goes under that is not likely to change in the short term.
