Just hope nothing breaks with MAEL not working tomorrow!

Is there any public transport from Luton airport to Luton town centre on the 26th of December?

LTNman 25th Dec 2018 04:01

Yes but it is a Sunday timetable for Boxing Day with the first bus leaving the airport at 8:40.

It seems Luton has more passenger movements today than Stansted thanks to Wizz. It must be many years since that happened. Just stating a fact so no silly comments please.

LTNman 25th Dec 2018 06:59

Without Wizz there would have been only 2 arrivals today excluding biz jets which would have been down on last year. No El-Al I noticed as well.

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.

It would be nice but after yesterday’s announcement I think the MAEL brand will soon be gone too. It certainly isn’t flourishing......

Ho Ho...Merry Christmas to one & all...

And only as you mention it & only for the record Santa due to deliver the following arrivals for STN on Christmas Day..

3 x PGT
1 x KKK
1 x UAE
1 x MLD
1 x TOM
1 x LDM
3 x EWG

+ GTI B748F on the regular Huntsville.

A nice varied little bunch.

LTNman 25th Dec 2018 07:48

Quantity or quality, let’s call it a draw at this special time of the year. Merry Xmas everyone.

Better not mention Luton's biz jets today. ho ho ho

Have you done any movements comparisons to Gatwick for the morning?

ericlday 25th Dec 2018 09:28

No.....nor Heathrow/Birmingham/Manchester. Why have you ?

Dannyboy39 25th Dec 2018 09:30

Seems to be a bumper day this year in terms of passenger movements - WZZ seem to be operating around 30 departures with the odd one from VLG/TOM.

Why these flights need to operate today I’ve no idea.

compton3bravo 25th Dec 2018 10:28

Nice quiet day to travel. Also a lot of people are not particularly religious or have another faith other than Christianity.

davidjohnson6 25th Dec 2018 10:35

Anyone at Luton today who can give a comment on Wizz's passenger numbers today ? Healthy loads leading to a likely repeat of flights on 25-Dec-2019 or are the aircraft all half empty ?

LTNman 25th Dec 2018 11:59

The issue for Wizz is that they can only use the stands vacated by Wizz based aircraft and the TUI departure so limiting potential services.

Not every country does 25th, alot do 24th instead, especially in Eastern Europe.

Rumour has it from one of the ground handling companies that the Xmas day Wizz flights were initially loaded by mistake into the booking system! Apparently a lot of the crews who were subsequently rostered for the 25th were not impressed!

LTNman 27th Dec 2018 06:44

But only by enough to allow for the stands vacated by Wizz based aircraft. On a normal day Wizz needs to use the stands vacated by the first wave of Easyjet departures so makes the story seem unlikely.

compton3bravo 27th Dec 2018 07:47

Considering that Wizz had a considerable flying programme beside flights to/from UK as LTNman says the rumour seems very unlikely.

pabely 27th Dec 2018 08:32

As MAEL were not working and Storm had to come up from Gatwick to cover, was the rumour from an already unhappy MAEL ground crew member?

boeing_eng 27th Dec 2018 09:40

No not from MAEL.....

Considering Wizz is now MAEL's primary source of work for the based Line Engineers, surely the program would have been supported by them on Xmas day if it had been correctly planned in advance!
