El al will be especially busy in the next few weeks but will any other airlines see any other increase in flights etc maybe new flybe routes

Boeing 737-8
 

Any news on any Turkish routes as you mentioned

Turkish routes
 

A few airlines in mind
Turkish airlines
Pegasus airlines
Atlas jet
Anadolujet
Sun express
Onur air

Hi Boeing 787-8, is this something you might like or a good rumour? If it was from someone in the know then would they not know which airline was thinking about serving Luton? Sun Express & Onur Air have run routes before for travel agents.

Flybe
 

Still no new routes or upgrades on planes maybe london market will be un touched by flybe for someone else to fill in on the Channel Islands and Ireland


Turkish routes I have not heard off any but these are some to fill in the easyjet route which will end on the 28th march 2014

New routes
 

If not Flybe as you intimate, who do you think will fill in on Channel Islands & Ireland routes and what about Isle of Man?

The £90m Luton Airport - Dunstable busway opens on September 25th

Fast, frequent and reliable: Luton Dunstable Busway services to start on 25 September - Luton Borough Council

Wallp - Easyjet confirmed they are picking up LGW-JER and LGW-INV and based on noises coming out of Govt, will likely pick up LGW-IOM. Aer Lingus, BA and Easyjet combined should absorb London-Belfast. BA fly London-Newcastle and the train is hourly taking 3 hours. Aurigny are expanding to fill LGW-GCI. LGW-Bergerac will likely be absorbed by Cityjet / Ryanair. Not sure about Newquay - possible Easyjet might run a summer daily LGW-NQY. BA and Easyjet combined should fill the London-Aberdeen demand - would need to argue well to see a need for 3 carriers when London-Glasgow has only 2.

How much of a gap is there for Flybe at Luton ?

Flybe
 

Thanks David. Putting it like that I see what you mean. I hope it doesn't have an even worse effect on traffic on the remaining Flybe routes already existing at Luton, which i understand have already suffered losses in passenger numbers, as it would be a real shame to lose links to Jersey & Isle of Man

Frankfurt
 

Clj148. G-lenm bae 146
Zt8082. G-powc. Boeing 737
Both came in around round 3:30
Anyone know why there were in coming in from Frankfurt

Big motor show on in Frankfurt this week so could be connected as Cello Aviation is executive charter. Titan went out yesterday to Frankfurt return flight today.

Maybe connected with that car manufacturer down the road !!!!

El Al
 

Yom Kippur holidays, same every year.

Some of the framework on Signatures new hangar is being bolted together for lifting into position later.

I don’t know how long they have been gone but Honeywell Aerospace have closed their Luton Airport engine repair centre.

They came to Luton when Hatfield Aerodrome was closed and had large offices and workshops almost opposite Easyjet’s Flight Academy. They also had an engine run up bay next to the rear of Britannia’s hangar.

Still listed as on office on their Website but can't think they would be getting much business if they only looked after 146/RJ engines.

What other commercial aircraft (if any) have Honeywell engines ?

None I can think of.

I can name a few, the A300, A319, A320, A321, A350, B757, B767 & B777. :ok:
