Wonder if the hangar will go back to 4 bays as one bay was lost due to offices being put in a few years ago.

every available office space within several miles of the airport was looked at, some were badly maintained and others had internal issues etc. If you have specific ideas of what you want to create within a certain timeframe and can do it on land that you own instead of renting then starting with a empty plot of land is a much better idea as you can tailor the building to exactly what you want from it.
By the way, the Monarch building would be way to small for what is needed

The vast majority of easyJet Europe business is run from Hanger 89 along with majority off easyJet Switzerland. There are a lot more people working for easyJet in Luton than you might first imagine .
. Hopefully the plans are rubber stamped by the council without too much delay.

See the drop off charges are going up from £3 for 10 mins to £4 for 13 mins,
That will make for more happy people��

Despite the signs some people still just sit and wait for passengers or worst still leave their car parked in the drop off area and walk to the terminal.

45 minutes with old charges = £38
45 minutes with new charges=£36

For anyone just dropping off 10 minutes is more than enough time with little queuing so the new price is just a price increase.

Hi LutonMan, the way fire alarms activations work is as follows: a person sets off a call point which triggers a sensor to local panel and to master panel. Both panels will show location for investigation by response teams. A feature on a master panel is that a delay can be made for the sounders to activate which allows time for the response team to locate area and from smell and vision determine what has happened and if a fire exists. If the delay times out then bells ring . In the mean time response teams will be positioned to make sure the area is cleared and secured. With no immediate danger to passengers and staff they would have been advised alternative exits as opposed to having passengers straying onto aprons with jet engines running. Had there have been a real fire then rightly all fire exits would have been utilised. Some establishments call it the 4 Cs. Confirm-Clear-Corden and Control. After 20 minutes passengers were let back in the terminal which demonstrates they have highly trained teams!

I see Wizz will be operating 20 A321XLR aircraft that have just been ordered by Indigo Partners, it will be interesting to see if some of these will be operated out of LTN to their full potential.
