Looks like there is going to be a premium price charged for the new non stop rail service from Parkway to London. This would mean there will be no flexibility for passengers to swap trains if a fast or slower one was due.

Seems Luton has lost two thirds of its passengers today. I guess that will look good compared to next week.

Is that Departures, Arrivals or Both ?

Just been announced by airport terminal managers that retail opening hours are now 5am - 7pm instead of 4am - 10pm.

Level seem to have suspended all Luton flight
|
Ryanair are grounding the airline virtually in full - you cannot book a LTN-DUB flight for 4-5 days after next Tuesday as it stands.
|
There hasn’t been a Level flight now for at least a week.

I would think you are indeed correct. With so much happening right now days seem like weeks. Will Level return? I actually doubt it.
Passenger numbers for this year I am putting at maybe 5 to 7 million. Even that figure is inflated because the first two months were similar to last year. |
On a plus note Luton's FBOs business is very brisk. Whether this is execs returning home early or them not relying on scheduled services only time will tell.
When was the last DHL movement, they seem to have upped services to LHR so perhaps taking advantage of free slots there? |
Biz jets taking advantage of available slots now at Heathrow, so quite possibly cargo has moved?
|
I have spoken to someone who works for a limousine company at both Farnborough and Luton that covers all FBO’s. Biz jet traffic has collapsed so I don’t know what information the above post is based on.

Ok so there are no major sports, conferences, film premiers, chaps going to Ibiza to daddy's villa etc. going on but there has been an upsurge of movements, whether this is sustained we will see. Checking now, (00:20 GMT) 4 active VVIP movements without the ones blocked. (oh and a BCS flight so DHL not totally moved to LHR) |
I thought business jet traffic is massively down from my own observations with just random movements now rather than a stream.
|
This is the peak hour. As seen now operating well under a third of normal and some of those figures will be the airport workers around the terminal. Aircraft are being moved out of Luton for storage due to the airports high charges.

As of 12:00z today: of the 32 commercial passenger flights departing from Luton this morning, the passenger numbers travelling ranged between 1 and 149 per flight but only 4 flights had more than 100 customers.
im not going to mention which flights were which because that could be classed as commercially sensitive however it’s clear that airport activities will be coming to a halt sooner rather than later as numbers will only decrease further due to more severe travel measures being put in place. |
A number of jobs have now been cut for some stores. We have the majority of shops closed. I do believe my shop will close within the next 2 days as the company have asked for most stock back. Looking at flight boards, you only see red with the occasional spacing. I do believe most flights are people trying to get back home. I did hear about the airport potentially closing after this weekend or some point mid next week. It’s not looking promising.
Staff are beginning to stress about finical issues with the number of cuts now being made. If I find out anymore information I will be posting. |

.[/QUOTE] That is not what I am hearing from another source but the situation is very fluid. I obvoiusly cannot say where my information comes from. |
