The logo squares went up in square by square with what looked like LED gubbings inside before being covered with a square cover.
The vaulted ceiling in departures/security queue now has the rails for a suspended ceiling, a little higher than the new arrivals ceiling but it does cover up the large advertising screens that are still hung.
Notice that it looks like the planning for wavy bus shelter only extends to the current covered walkway from the pedestrian bridge, would have looked better if the same wavy design continued all the way, even if it offers little rain protection.

I have always associated a photo like this with an airport like Heathrow or Gatwick and not little old Luton. Even the easyjet in the run up bay was in the queue. Photo taken today.

I was pushing out easy on 21L when I noticed it. Now we back on rw 26 and you can clearly see the queues. You can expect similar around 6-7 pm when the late wave of easyjet goes out .

BA LHR diversions
 

What was that all about as I saw nothing? Aircraft parked on the south stands. Also I thought Luton wasn't taking any diversions for the summer?

I think STN & LGW took a few as well, maybe this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-44877663? I think another was going to come then went to STN instead, the full signs went up.
Diversions outside overnight times are no issue, they stay a couple of hours then drift back to LHR.

Hope you are not slipping LTNman, usually on the ball, must try harder!

I thought that as well. I remember it was part of the restrictions announced to keep LTN within its overall noise limits that no daytime diversions other than emergencies would be accepted between June and September 2018. Maybe those restrictions have since been amended unnoticed.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned, new TUI routes for Summer 19:

• Hurghada (HGD) on Thur
• Thessaloniki (SKG) on Thur
• Heraklion (HER) on Thur
• Enfidha (NBE) on Fri
• Dalamam (DLM) on Sat

They are indeed banned.

Maybe they were four emergencies

With no ATC at LHR and alot of metal spinning around the holds filling quicking burning fuel would make such a scenario for special one off!
Of course we don't know if they actually declared an emergency fuel status over London TMA, unless anyone was up their on same frequency or monitoring.
I don't believe anything went to SEN though Expressflight which could have been an alternative if STN and LGW said no to any more?

No, nothing went to SEN as far as I know.

Nice array of new routes, wonder if this was a reaction to Thomas Cook, as they launched some routes to Turkey and Tunisia this year.

Will this mean they will be re-instating a third aircraft to TUI's LTN base?

As far as i know those were fuel emergencies.
One was still here earlier today

Departed at 14.45 for LHR

Anyone get a pic of the DC6B flyby this afternoon?

So many delayed flights tonight, many in-excess of an hour...
Whats the reason?

There is no such thing as a fuel emergency, you either PAN or MAYDAY. The problem with Heathrow is that one of the diversion airports, is the other runway at the Heathrow. If there is a total closure, NATS has a contingency plan and airports close by have to take traffic in an emergency due low fuel. After all, if they didn't, there would be no other options.
