Luton backs down on airport charges?

LUTON AIRPORT seems to have backed down on its threat to charge ‘drop off’ passengers (see AERBT 22 April 2009).  The official line is that a previous announcement has not been implemented, a clear response to media outrage regarding not only this issue but also the hidden charges being employed by many airlines and airports.  On a more positive front El Al has now arrived at the airport with daily flights (except Saturday) to Tel Aviv, the first national carrier to offer long haul services from Luton.  Over the next few weeks easyJet is to introduce flights to Mahon (6 July – Mondau, Wednesday, Friday), Milan Malpensa (also 6 July – every day except Saturday) and Montpellier (7 July – Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). www.london-luton.co.uk
