Hi as a new one to the forum, just like to say I have many photos of aircraft and the airport over 35 yrs as a Firefighter serving the airport, so if they are of interest I will gladly share not brill pics but I am sure will be surprised at some of the traffic we have had over the years.
Thanks Gordon. ======================= Until you have a posting history you don't have access to private messaging and adding urls or photos. As Buster said stick them in https://www.pprune.org/aviation-hist...nostalgia.html although it looks like you have to have to do a few more general posts before you can post a photo. Hope it doesn't put you off. |
The Dart opening date has slipped from the summer of 2021 to the Autumn of 2021 due to late starting of the project. I noticed that part of route is now being worked on 7 days a week.
Dart Maintenance area beyond Central Station https://i.imgur.com/66bywiQ.jpg Another thing slipping is the opening of the new drop off zone on the ground floor of the new multistory as that is meant to open this month. At least 3 months late I would guess as the entrance roads haven't even been started yet. Taxiway Foxtrot is having its signage installed. Think I saw a sign for Taxiway Kilo being installed yesterday which is one of the links from taxiway Delta but I will confirm. (Edit) The link taxiway between Delta and Foxtrot opposite the drop off zone is marked up as K1 |

Two new Wizz routes starting today - Thessaloniki and Bergen which I don't think has been operated before as a scheduled service from Luton.

Are not Turku & Kutaisi starting this month as well?
Oslo , Stavanger and Catania in Mid September |
Wizz seem to be going big on Scandinavia. But is there sufficient demand?
|
Luton-Kutaisi has been operating for a couple of years. Regarding Scandinavia we will just have to see with prices for Tromso this winter holding up well. I guess a number of seats have been block booked by tour operators for trips to see the Northern Lights.

British Airways used to fly to both Bergen and Stavanger - now they don't
SAS fly London-Stavanger but not London-Bergen That left Norwegian with a very dominant position on these 2 routes. I don't think flying via Amsterdam, Copenhagen or Oslo will be considered an effective substitute or (in the case of Amsterdam as strong competition There may well be room for a Wizz on London-Bergen (in particular) and, maybe to a lesser degree, also on London-Stavanger. I would be interested to know if Wizz can pick up any oil/gas traffic to Stavanger though |
Wizzair confirms interest in flying London to Dubai with the A321XLR
Wizz Air Eyes London To Dubai Flights With Airbus A321XLR
Will be an interesting development if this happens, but is a few years away until they A321XLR. I guess if Transavia can make it work from Amsterdam and Norwegian from Scandanavia (which are similar length routes with 737s) and are competing directly with Emirates and the associated flag carriers from this countries, Wizz can make it work too! They also state they have no interest in using the new longer range A321XLRs on transatlantic routes from the UK. Even if the London to Dubai routes does happen, no guarantee it will be from Luton, as not sure what the aircraft type will be like on Luton's short-ish runway, and they are showing a real interest in expanding at Gatwick. Looking to buy up Thomas Cook's slots! |
