I still don’t understand why an International Airport wants to brand away from its designated IATA code and brand itself using another Airports code LLA is the code for Luleå Airport (LLA) in Sweden. If an unsuspecting passengers Google’s LLA the top results show Luton Airport it is not inconceivable the someone could end up in LTN expecting to land at LLA. Is it even legal to Brand under another Airports code ? |

I wonder if Lulea Airport is such an inhospitable building site. Bet they wish they had bus shelters like ours.😉

Why not use LTN above the sign instead of LLA this can be very confusing for passengers from countries that use the code of the airport over the airport name this is a big pet hate of mine. you wouldn’t fly to JFK and see NYA as a code or what can be conceived as a code. |
Wizzair New route Krakow daily w/c 4 April then 2 x daily from 1 May. That will make Easy happy, they have only recently reintroduced the route from Luton |
Must have got a very good deal from the airport authorities.

You are having a laugh now, you will find no airport if you were in Canada using such a scenario, most people using google search use descriptive terms and google is very good in knowing where you are and giving appropriate results.
But what ever you use it still doesn’t make sense to market and re brand LTN as LLA its madness and should have been brought up in the planning stages I’m not picking on Luton Southend is also a culprit but they have an excuse as they are new and probably don’t even know the importance of the IATA code. |
Photos taken from almost the same spot with the second photo taken a few paces back into the new build exactly 18 year apart to the day. A careful look at the ceiling in the second photo shows the red beams as reference. The first photo was taken with a slight telephoto lens while the second used a slight wide angle lens. In those days the terminal had a clear ceiling design with services below ground.

I see that the old Monarch HQ has been sold for £4.26 million by the administrators. Secured creditors will be paid including Petrol Jersey Limited which is connected to Greybull will receive £50 million but unsecured creditors will get nothing!

Yes but we don't know to who. The site is fenced off but work has yet to start. There are no planning applications submitted so I doubt it would be sold for a change of use without getting the wink. At the moment the indications are that it will remain an office block and with its prime location inside the airport it could be speculated it will end up with a link to aviation remaining.

Apart from that no other information but will definitely stay as office block. |

Direct flights to India next year!
|
I'll believe it when I see it:
Direct Amritsar, London flight next year: UK MP - The Tribune India Anyone else able to add any more meat to this? They refer to providing low-cost and direct services to India from Luton, that really does not go hand-in-hand with the airport infrastructure... Low cost to me would mean a high density configuration aircraft and that along with an aircraft type that could fly direct/non-stop would struggle to operate from airports runway! |

But whom might it be Jet Airways, can't see IndiGo or Spice having the correct equipment for such a route.
maybe looking at Luton as an alternative? |
Indigo were in the press recently about launching routes from India to the UK with a stop at I think Azerbaijan? Report mentioned Gatwick.

If this route does indeed happen the likelihood is it will be Indigo. They will be taking delivery of their first A321neo at year end I believe and with their intention to fly to the UK already stated it does seem to make sense.Would be a long old journey though with the stopover, some what 10+ hrs in a single aisle, high density layout. Big Indian population around Luton so they will probably be hoping this does happen. |
I thought that I had deleted my post above, but looks like I didn't.

|
I thought it interesting that the original article quoted an MP for Slough, obviously more than Luton based Indian community involved. Just to fuel the fire, will WOW ever take their A330NEOs, if not, prime for such a route by someone taking the frames!

Don't think there is. There is a big Pakistani based community in Luton.
Mostly Pakistani and Bangladeshi, mind you Amritsar is near the Pakistan border so maybe not all is lost!! (Joke) |

TfL Oyster Cards
Scheme extended around network, to now include LLA, making it on par with Gatwick Express.
|
The announcement says the Oyster card will be extended to Luton Airport Parkway but makes no mention of Luton Airport meaning a paper ticket will still have to be bought for the bus link or combined journey. I also wonder how seamless the Dart rail link will be and at what cost to passengers? With the council coughing up £225 million it won’t be cheap for a link that is used by less than 3 million passengers a year at the moment. Yesterday the rail link from London was shut down with no services running out of St Pancras for many hours due to a signal fault. I had to pick my son up from Hitchin and found a massive line of passengers trying to get to the airport with no replacement bus service offered and an empty taxi rank. I saved the travel plans of 2 random unconnected women who accepted the offer of a lift to the mid term car park when their hands went up first. One made it with 45 minutes to spare but both only had hand luggage so should have been fine. I think most in that long queue were stuffed. |
I did wonder that but report does say "Rail Minister Andrew Jones said: "This is about making access to the capital even easier for commuters and other rail travellers, including visitors to the UK arriving at Luton Airport." so whether that includes travel up the hill as well, we will have to wait and see.

The report says the scheme will extend to include Luton Parkway in early 2019, then the airport later the same year. |
Hope it all goes to plan then. Wonder why Stansted did not get it unless they already have it?
|
I see Ryanair are up to their new 6 based aircraft which they announced in the summer. Also, according to flightradar24 Wizzair have 46 departures today versus just 35 for easyJet. I know it's a Saturday in early December, but still..

You certainly can use PAYG oyster cards to travel between LHR and the rest of the capital, or use a contactless bank card, or a travelcard that includes zone 6. You can't however use them on the Heathrow Express because that service is not controlled by Tfl and no agreement is in place to do so.
|
LTN/STN/SEN hopefully all included within Oyster Card zoning commencing at the latest for Euro 2020.
Oyster Cards have been available for purchase from Stansted Express for use ex train from Tottenham Hale & Liverpool St for some years. |
No, nor LHR. |
Inaugural Ryanair Barcelona yesterday, just a few months after Vueling pulled the route.
|
Blueair start their code share with Cyprus Airways on the Larnaca route tomorrow. |
