Not the most funniest joke

yet another new destination now bookable for next summer

Antalya 3 x weekly

Monarch
 

With them adding flights on ones already going and making new destinations with room for more to go in

Monarch
 

With more flights, does then mean there are moving some gatwick flights to luton because of the rising cost at gatwick

Not at all Boeing....flights from LGW are growing too

Just looked at the schedule for the five aircraft being based at the airport next summer, with the addition of Antalya being added, and this only really leaves three slots available left to fill in the weekly timetable...

Tuesday's and Wednesday's where the Larnaca aircraft lands back at 5.45pm and nothing is scheduled in after this and a morning slot on Sundays, but the aircraft needs to be back in Luton for around 1-2pm for the afternoon departures.

So, my guess is we will either see another route launched within about 2.5hrs flying time of Luton, operating three times weekly or the airline might use these slots to add additional capacity to the Spanish routes, if they sell well(?)...

This is all based on the airline operating between about 6-7am and 11pm-1am each day. But there is still a fare bit of slack in the schedule to add night flights to the likes of Spain if they wanted to, during the peak summer months.

Hardly, Gatwick has about 10-12 aircraft based there. Also a number of the routes are operated as charters for the likes of sister company Cosmos, to destination that might not be already flown as scheduled services. The operations from Manchester is very similar, acting as the airlines main Northern base...

As I mentioned earlier, apparently a sixth Monarch airframe is still a slight possibility at Luton for summer 2014 so there could well be several more flights/destinations to still be announced. Personally I suspect five will be it for next summer.

Alloy is this what you have heard but my opinion maybe 2015

I see MNG's A330 paid another nocturnal visit yesterday.

Exciting times in the late 90's when the airports cut and cover tunnel was under construction.

And made the Tinminal into a cul-de-sac! Utter madness as passenger growth has proven.

Any more Norwegian rumours?

The Tuesday and Wednesday slots are normally left for maintenance slots.

Maintenance slots! Airbus fix themselves, just like Dreamliners! Blinking engineering getting in the way of profits! (Only joking Spotty).

Tinminal going to be heaving next summer via AENA!

I reckon that they will get a new plan and change the tinminal and the roof

The airport always was a cul de sac with only one way in/out, just that that entry/exit point changed. How could they have done it differently?

Buster the Bear, what are the Norwegian rumours?

It appears that Munich will be running in the winter

Quite easily!......With a one way system. The current tunnel in/out road would be the entrance road and the old road (now a dead end near RSS) as the exit road. Yes, it may have required another small tunnel but the lack of foresight over this issue speaks volumes about how the airport has been developed and the current mess is the legacy we have to live with:ugh::ugh:

Sibiu
 

Is there any news on Sibiu, I'd of thought considering there was going to be a subsidy on the route maybe wzz would have considered it

Errr then what? Do you think that the old approach road via Eaton Green Road and its residential housing would be a better solution as an exit? That's an extra 4 roundabouts on narrow roads that are congested just to get back to where the existing airport road hits the A505. Also you would be looking at a tunnel at least twice as long as the exiting one.
