So its Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final on 1 June at Wembley plus Leinster v Toulouse rugby final the previous week at Tottenham Hotspurs ground. Some rather busy airports in the Home Counties I would imagine.

Plenty of room at Southend although a bit of a trek. Also noted that rival fans charter flights are directed to different airports.

I beg to differ regarding those three airports are full. After the early morning rush things quieten down and I suggest ways will be found to accommodate the supporters. Aircraft will arrive and drop off passengers and leave empty maybe returning with another load of supporters. Also there will be a multitude of corporate flights to be accommodated. We will just have to wait and see. Do not forget London is chosen becasuse it has the infrastructure (?????) to put on these huge sporting events. The previous week should also be busy with the Champions rugby final.

These conversations occur every time there is a major international sporting event held at Wembley and every time the spotters are left wanting as the rush doesn’t materialise. Gone are the days of 747’s turning up or 2 rows of aircraft parked up for the day on the south stands and where supporters were bussed straight in and out of the airport so avoiding the delights of Luton’s terminal. Seem to remember the London Olympics failed to deliver as well for Luton after much speculation so I guess it will be a case of wait and see.
As for Southend, they have a 120 movement limit for the year in place from 11pm until 6am. I would imagine they could handle many supporter flights if they wish. |

Can SEN do anything after 21:00?
LTNMan: The night movement quota is 120 per MONTH not per year. |
Southend has an opportunity to spoil Luton’s parade, as long as the departure is scheduled to leave before 23:30 using the shoulder period except the airport is a 90 minute coach drive away.

Presumably so, as the Jet Centre at SEN is open 0530Z 1st June until 2000Z 2nd June to cater for the Wembley final traffic.

I wouldn’t get too excited for much at Luton apart from biz jets.
There are two Iberia Flights into STN on the 1/6 both A320s at 09.55 and 10.25 that are bookable on their site. Am guessing they have upgraded a/c on London routes to take the extra demand. |
The ACL start of season report gives hints of additional flights. One each BA (98 seats E190?), Volotea (156 seats A319?), Sunclass (212 seats A321?) and Neos (186 seats B738?) are in the programme for S24.
The capacity declaration for W24 releases a further 4 stands and 500,000 passenger air transport movements in anticipation of progress towards 19m pax. |
Construction/destruction update.
.Work continues on the second temporary drop off area.

Seems EasyJet pilots are considering industrial action for the summer as a pay rise to £200,000 a year is not enough for captains.

Here’s something that I hadn’t come across before last week… was on a 1h flight on a dry day on a 737-800, departing from the intersection of Taxiway H from RWY07. Usually from that runway we’d typically go fullish length without a backtrack. Not sure how much margin exactly was available but it didn’t feel like there was much left over after the wheels were off the ground!
