Easy seem to have added Catania from Luton from 30 March.

Cool, Ryanair started Ragusa from STN this year which is just a volcano away from Catania. Seems like from London every part of Sicily is covered now.

Anyone heard anything more about the former Aerlingusaran ATR routes.. still surprised no concrete replacement has been found. Surely the demand is there.. Someone lease a J31/Metro/Random small prop lets make some money. :ok: I kid.

FedEx
 

Anybody have any idea why a fedex ab6 yesterday stopped halfway through run up and then stopped?

Will this new flight be using a morning luton based aircraft or one which has comes from another base on a w pattern

CARPATAIR
 

Reading up on CARPATAIR on Luton's website, i see that CARPATAIR is nearly 100% owned by swiss shareholders! ironic seeing as it's one of Romania's main airlines. :rolleyes:

Gate group and easyjet
 

I see that gate group are looking to lengthen their contract with easyjet by five years. gategroup and easyJet to extend partnership by another five years | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

Wigmore field
 

Has anybody heard anything about the expansion of the piers out onto the wigmore park and practice fire plane area?

Capacity expansion
 

I've heard that ethihad have expanded weekly flights at Manchester to a 777, so does anybody think any airlines will follow suit with a bigger plane or more flights over the christmas period?

^^If you press "edit" on your last post if you are posting consecutively and just write all your questions in 1 part I think it will save you from the hassel you are likely to get on here mate lol.

On radar 24 the Fedex did that 3 times apparently.. I guess they are testing "stuff". No idea about the rest of your questions. I Dont get your point about Carpatair being Swiss owned either. Arent Monarch owned by a Swiss chap? Whats the biggy. Confusing stuff.

:ooh:

Agree, four paragraphs would have been better than 4 posts,:ugh:

Not if you're trying to get your post count up! ;)

Will they be any more airlines or routes for summer 2014 talk about Pegasus but nothing has changed

Cheers
 

Cheers for the advice guys, I am new here so am still getting used to it!:)

As for the fedex, yeah I don't get why it did it either, must just be routine testing?:confused:

luton airport sham’ tendering process
 

tender process for coach links between London Luton Airport and central London was a sham. Hope the link works.richard

Luton Airport Operations sees Arriva accuse it at court of ?sham? tendering process | The Economic Voice

The Fedex is in for MX. That is, fixing problems and checking for potential problems. After being worked-on the aircraft has an airtest.
In this case, the airtest seems to have been a useful exercise in helping to check that a problem was fully resolved.
Good job those professionals at Monarch do things properly - I guess that's why they are attracting business from around the world.:ok:

Palermo and Catania were regular Monarch 1-11 destinations for Citalia and Pegasus. Market was there in the 1980s and still is.

& Air UK Leisure, Sabre, British Midland.. charter of course. :ok:

No surprise with Bedford, Hoddesdon & Bletchley so close to LTN. (Yes I realize Hoddesdon is closer to STN but its still close to LTN.)

787luton
 

The only airline at the airport which will increase for the Christmas period is El al and maybe a few thomson flights to Lapland

Really, EZY 10 flights to GVA on pre ex-Saturday.....
