Some of you are clearly over excited. Maybe lay off the Xmas Sherries. :p |
Merry Christmas pamann. Gatwick closed again |
LTN starting to take its first diverts from the second LGW closure.... EZY TFS on approach with a few more shortly behind...
|
7 Easyjet diverted to LTN and 1 Thomson. 2 easy are 321s all up on south apron and cargo
|
Hope they get back to LGW overnight, hell of a busy shedule tomorrow, GVA almost hourly with EZY.
|
Plus a Vueling A319 from Florence.
|
Wonder why then don’t use the run up bay, which could squeeze in two airbuses? |
They need it for remote hold. It's more important than you may think. And Bravo extension doesn't make much difference when runway 26 is in operation, so it's better to park them over there. By the way, the plan was to put next one in run up bay but luckily Gatwick reopened.

Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this but Alitalia are using an AZ code on Blue Air’s Turin service. Been that way for a while now. |
AZ & Blue Air Turin
Yes noted on #2094 by LGS6753
|
I just knew someone was going to quote that post. Look again, that was a code share with Cyprus Airways to Larnaca. This is a code share with Alitalia to Turin. Sad day for Luton last week with the removal of Monarch signage and logo from the front of their former HQ. Building to let banners have been put up instead as a period of refurbishment takes place from January by a company that has bought the building. |
Monarch
Firstly wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy new year. LTNMan, whilst Monarch Aircraft Engineering continue to flourish, having succeeded 50 years of excellent aircraft engineering, the name Monarch will be a name to be seen at its spiritual home at LTN for decades to come. I like to think that one day the Monarch livery will one day take to the skies once more. |

Also not previously mentioned was the announcement in October that Greybull Capital LLP became the majority shareholder in MAEL & MAEL`s lenders PNC will continue to provide facilities & support.

As MAEL is up for sale, the Monarch name almost certainly will disappear. |
2019 will be a big year for Luton as the council and LLAL announce their preferred option for airport expansion. The consultation was a fictitious exercise because it was always planned to be on the adjoining Wigmore Park, as the council already owned the land. The locals are not happy but the argument goes that people who don’t like airports should not live next to one but those same residents bought homes that had a large park and county wildlife site sitting between the airport and their homes and didn't expect to see a major park built on.
A new website has been created https://stoplae.org to fight that proposal. Not many here will sympathise as there is no such thing as too many flights in their eyes but for every action there is a consequence. The group has produced a video with quite haunting music that shows what Luton will lose. This is a town with very limited green areas within its border so don’t just dismiss them as tree huggers. Watch the video and reflect. https://stoplae.files.wordpress.com/...r-HD-SLAE-.mp4 |
Have seen what happened to Lowfield Heath near Gatwick... worth walking around what remains of that village
|
I see that Wizz have 17 departures between 1850 and midnight today. It was not that long ago that the last departure of any kind left about 1600
To all ppruners Feliz Navidad. |
Christmas Day departures are now starting to appear on the airports website and are showing Wizz departures. Don’t think they have ever operated on Christmas Day before from Luton. |
