Pegasus
 

Would benefit a move to luton cheaper cost,nearer to London and better transport to it and no other airline in the market with easyjet dropping it in march

Pegasus Airlines
 

They are definitely staying as they have slots confirmed for next years summer schedule. What I have heard through the grape vine is that they will be handled by Swissport instead of Menzies.

But then I came across this...

Pegasus
 

It seems they might be moving to luton now as on the website not book able

Flights from STN - ADB & SAW are still bootable on the Pegasus Airlines website. I've just tried to make a booking for April 2014.

I mean stansted own website as Pegasus will transfer them to luton

Could be an issue on STN website as the flights on Pegasus site, you know, the actual airline in question, are still bookable after March.

Yes a move could be possible but lets not count your chickens yet.

All flights from STN seem book able after March. I've just looked on the Pegasus Airlines website.

Pegasus flights are still bookable from Stansted on their own website and the Stansted website as well. No results on the Luton website and nothing mentioning Luton on the Pegasus website.

Somebody has put Pegasus on the Luton Wikipedia page but with no links or references to support it. The fact that whoever it is has put Ankara as a destination as well makes it seem even more questionable. Unless of course this relates to somebody who has seen this on here and decided to change it on Wikipedia anyway.

I'm not saying it won't happen. It wouldn't be the first airline to leave Stansted and move elsewhere but could I ask Boeing737-8 where you have heard about this??

Luton thread

Ok, timetable on Stansted website shows flights up until 13 April 2014, but flight bookings can be made through the whole of summer 2014 on both Stansted and Pegasus websites.

And did you really just say that the place where you have first heard about this is the "Luton thread" :eek:

Means nothing, I'll ask again. Where did you hear about Pegasus moving from Stansted to Luton???

Pegasus
 

Remember when MAG took over London's third airport and there were rumours of Wizz getting a poaching from London's fourth? Nothing happened.

Pegasus moving to Luton? Clutching at straws if you ask me.

Oh hang on... Wikipedia is FACT! :rolleyes:

....................................Yet.

Looks like hostilities in the ongoing Luton v Stansted war are about to break out again - flak jackets on everyone...
:hmm:

From 1st November ALL passengers (including Ryanair) will be allowed to carry one shopping bag alongside their cabin bag at Stansted.

Stansted: Shops and restaurants at Stansted Airport

Also, a quick video showing the progress of the £80m redevelopment. The new Check-in area is already complete, ready for the new Security area which will open within months, possibly as early as December.


Also, Airblue who is reported to be starting a service next year to Lahore has an ad image for London on their home page. It's nothing major. It just simply says "London" on a very nice picture of Westminster at dusk.

Unless they are being naughty as implying Birmingham or Manchester as an entry to London then maybe we might hear something fairly soon.

: : : airblue : : :
(you'll need to wait for the images to change until it comes up)

Menzies Handling TCX 2014
 

Rumour has it TCX are talking with Menzies for a new nationwide contract as they are not happy with the service they are receiving from Swissport at UK stations. Looks like Menzies are going to be busy with 2 x a321 at STN!!

Air Blue
 

That they are not coming to Stansted but are going to one if its rivals:oh::oh::oh:

Any news on Pegasus will they be staying at stansted or moving to luton

Local MP well behind Airport Expansion.....

Stansted's MP calls for aviation expansion in Manchester | Uttlesford village headlines

...at Manchester !

You could not make this up....:ugh:

Didnt think GLA was a Stansted rival !

Pegasus
 

Has anybody heard anymore about the Pegasus move, will they be coming to LTN or staying at stansted?:confused:

Not since yesterday, no. It's getting terribly "local" in here again....
Air Blue would actually be a good fit for either airport, it'll depend on who offers the better deal, though it might be just as likely to be Blue Air and crossed wires :)

Air blue
 

I agree skipness one echo, hopefully things will go down without too much of a problem, I want luton to get both obviously:):ok:

Of course, in response to any LTN fanboys the following is equally applicable:

When are EZY moving Montpellier, Hamburg, Aberdeen, Zurich, Tel Aviv, Keflavik from STN to LTN along with a couple of based units to satisfy the new deal with MAG?

When are FR moving over Trapani, Beziers and Nimes?

When are Blue Air coming back?

When are Wizz accepting an offer they can't refuse from MAG?

Etc etc

It works both ways, and it's quite pathetic actually. I don't think there are supporters of any airports other than LTN on these boards that act the same way.

Sx flyer
 

You being a fan of stansted as you come from Essex will mean you want more airlines for you airport as does 787 luton but air blue would be better for luton compared to stansted. All stansted fans can dream of wizz but NEVER going to happened, at luton there make most of there money and what else can MAG offer them half the cost no way.

Well said
 

Well said BOEING 737-8, it's quite pathetic what jealousy cause actually:ugh:

Ezy
 

Jealousy that we got your EZY flights, as you pointed out in your response!:D

I'm not a 'fan' of anywhere, these are businesses and people's jobs we discuss on here, not football teams. It's nothing to do with wanting more airlines for 'my' airport, I'm pointing out that when you fantasise and start fictitious rumours, a. it's people's livelihoods at stake and b. unless 'your' airport is LHR or to a lesser extent LCY absolutely any airline or route operating in the UK is a target for a competitor no matter how secure you perceive it, so you are in no position to gloat.

I do think 787luton and 737-8 are the same person. Probably best to refrain from feeding the troll.

Pegasus
 

Routes News - Pegasus Airlines expands UK-Turkey network

I think we can quash the 'Pegasus moving to Luton' rumour with the above announcement of new routes for Pegasus from Stansted announced 6 days ago. These rumours are purely 'rumours' started by a few Luton fans on pprune who are clutching at straws with no firm facts. It's all getting a bit childish, boring and really going around in circles now for years. If you can't behave like adults on this forum by constantly popping up on the Stansted thread and trying to make out that your own conceived 'pipe dreams' are about to come true, then please just do one and let the rest of us use this forum for what it's for so we no longer have to read pages and pages of your drivel.

Thank you.

Now back on thread :ok:

pamann

I tend to agree with all of your comments. The quality of some of the recent Luton posts are indeed suspect which undermines the whole thread. There is then spillage here as contributors go on fishing trips. Less posts on wish lists rather than quality rumours would be welcome on both threads I would imagine.

New Pegasus destinations
 

Looking at the above announcement about Pegasus, I wonder if they are being a little optimistic.
Edremit is on the Aegean coast, between Istanbul and Izmir and as such is likely to attract tourist traffic. As far as I am aware, this area is not served from elsewhere in the UK.
However, both Erzurum and Mardin are provincial capitals in the east of the country, where tourism will be limited, and local poverty will limit the number of Turkey-originating passengers.

I wonder if these flights are planned to be direct, or whether they will be extensions to the existing STN-SAW route. This approach allows places such as Ercan (N. Cyprus) to be 'served' from the UK although the aircraft stops in SAW en route.

I think I would be surprised if Pegasus were announcing an additional 14 flights per week to STN.

Boeing737-8 = 787luton
You're one and the same surely?

Tend to agree although Mardin has a large Kurdish community with many family members in my part of NE London so a market, as such, exists.

Skipness
 

We aren't the same and have never even met, we just both agree about a point that you disagree on. Each to their own as they say.

Skipness
 

To add to that, do you really think that I have time to make two accounts and then reply to each other?:rolleyes:

If you have time to add 30 odd posts in only your first few days then probably. It all looks very fishy to me :suspect:

787luton
 

The fact that you've changed your location to 'Tea green golf club' from 'Luton' doesn't help your defence. Maybe an issue for the MOD's to look into if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about?! ;)

Tea green golf club
 

Tea green golf club is in luton, it is my local golf club, I have met Boeing 737-8 once (correction) at a football match and he has been on here for 3 months now. If I wanted 2 accounts, surely i would have started them at the same time?:confused:

Atlantic Airways to return to Stansted
 

Another feather in MAG`s cap...Atlantic Airways recommences twice weekly Stansted-Faroe Islands service commencing June 5 2014 days 1.4..Service flying again from Stansted rather than Gatwick as it did this year & last.:DRegards,The Southside.
