Taxiway Foxtrot used again as BizJet parking overflow, even before NOTAM kicks in.
Is business that good at the FBOs currently?
Q) EGTT/QMXLC/IV/BO /A /000/999/5152N00022W
A) EGGW
B) 24/06/05 12:00 C) 24/08/31 18:00
E) TWY FOXTROT BTN HLDG POINTS F1 TO F5 PLUS HLDG POINT K1 MAY BE CLSD FOR ACFT PARKING AT VARIOUS TIMES. BARRIERS AND LIGHTS WILL BE USED DURING CLOSURE PERIODS.

This could mean with their next expansion mode, other airports gaining more in preference to LGW.
Don't be surprised if some other bases get a much bigger footprint.
"Next year's reduction to BA Euroflyer is three based aircraft's-worth of slots, with the final two aircraft's-worth due back at the start of Summer 2026."
That is five aircraft in the next two years that have to go somewhere, and then there are the slots leased from Virgin.
Most of the additional 1m could be swallowed up with bigger aircraft. An opportunity for EasyJet’s new Southend base or even Southampton at a pinch where there are no slot restrictions.
Airport update
The Dart is proving to be a success but is suffering from overcrowding, just like the buses the Dart replaced, but is still a far better experience.
The first of two temporary replacement drop off areas has opened. In typical Luton style, for that quality airport feel, it is confirmed as having a gravel kerbside.
Barriers don’t stop people waiting to be picked up outside the dedicated areas.
On a warm day it is a long slog to the terminal but still better than walking in the rain.
The walk is longer now, as there is a diversion through the original MSCP2 road crossing point.
The CTA road has been rerouted
Work continues on the second premium drop off area

Now wonder the Dart is successful for £5 (or there about) I didn't drag my case to the drop off/collection point but did it with ease to Kimpton Rd to be collected.

For those interested more F1 related traffic tomorrow night Corredon 737; Monday Correndon A320 and BACityflyer E190. British Grand Prix on 7th July so more expected. All classed as private flights.

Yes at a cost of £4.90 per passenger. From the main railway station side just show the Dart ticket to cross the railway tracks or buy a ticket there.
From the Dart side the drop off is in Kimpton Road then it is a 100m walk as there is no access to the Dart forecourt. Don’t forget the free travel if registered for state pensioners but passengers have to apply before travel.

Could Tarom be coming back to Luton? As reported elsewhere they appear to have sold their slots at LHR. Luton now appears in their booking engine if done through a mobile but not on a PC, but do not seem to be able to book anything yet.
Don't they currently fly their A318 into LHR?
I believe they have recently signed to lease two Max aircraft though.
