🥳🥳🥳Excellent, can’t wait to muck in, it’s my home airport after all😎

Gatwick must be the most orange… went there in April last year and my TUI 737 looked so out of place in comparison to the orange easyJet liveries, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much orange in one place before!

Have to agree that their planes are more orange. But FedEx Has more planes. So infsofacto. MORE ORANGE lololololol

It won’t be long before Wizz Air colours take over. Purple/magenta pink over Orange, they already have a lion share of the market for EGGW - London Luton Airport🤓

Funny you say that, Luton is my local airport! I don’t live In Luton - I live in Harpenden which is a nearby town, but I go spotting there quite often!

I honestly don’t think Wizz will take over EasyJet at LGW

Yeah I agree. Gatwick is ruled by easyJet haha

That’s cool. I often use Luton for Wizzair flights and just last week flew out on a new route to Amman, Jordan using A321N.
The pax load was at max capacity and had to use the whole runway to lift off.
Quite incredible!

You never know Dan, it happened at London Luton, although I accept it would be very hard to crack it. Already Wizzair at London Gatwick base had to cancel a few popular routes such as Tenerife at short notice due to poor loads on their respective flights; possibly because of lack of brand awareness although Wizzair did receive bad publicity in the media for not compensating passengers & many had to go via the court route & took out judgements against Wizzair. Hundreds of them.
It’s frankly quite appalling.
