What I think is more interesting is "With the county's population expected to rise by up to 175,000 by 2031, and plans for more than 100,000 new jobs and more than 100,000 new homes", more punters for airports and more income for councils!

Interesting too is the direction of travel literally within two county councils planning & thinking.
Previously Watford/Hemel/StAlbans could be safely placed within the LTN catchment...Centre of gravity within planning is certainly changing.

More likely that Herts CC - always vehemently anti-Luton - want a share of the action in the form of fare income, and joining with Essex as they both gain revenue from more houses/buildings in their patch. Never underestimate the cynicism of politicians....

Since MAG ownership Stansted has worked very hard with all the local communities to mitigate any/all impacts of growth which will & is producing dividends.
LTN has chosen the opposite path being a dictatorial neighbour to communities & which is now becoming/proving a serious obstacle to further growth.

For anyone thinking about Play, maybe just have a look here, I wouldn't comment on the thread but it gives an indication of their thinking.

Been a long time in the making. They certainly seem to be the most professional out of all the start ups, or at least project themselves to be. Time will tell.
Good luck to them. Hopefully they’ll create some much needed aviation employment opportunities.

Same problem at nearly all UK airports on FR24. I understand that VG now relates to a trucking company and is being erroneously picked up from a 3rd part app.
Hopefully they will get it sorted soon.
