LTN London

How deep the LTN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from LTN. This reads the same 169 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 99of the 169 destinations are flown by one airline
• 90destinations run less than once a day
• 12destinations have four or more departures a day
• 37.3%of the destinations name easyJet, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at LTN

66 airlines appear on the LTN board and they do not hold it evenly. easyJet is on 63 of the 169 destinations, 37.3 per cent of them, and on 25 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 127.1 of the 228.8 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Wizz Air UK on 45 destinations. 42 of the 66 airlines at LTN appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at LTN: one airline on 37.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 62.7 per cent spread across 65 airlines. A cancellation inside the easyJet network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 106 destinations easyJet does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the LTN board is daily

Of the 169 destinations, 79 are flown at least once a day and 90 are not, 28 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the LTN board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: LTN to White Plains (HPN) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 35.1 of the 228.8 departures a day, 15.4 per cent of the whole board. With 53.3 per cent of the 169 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of LTN where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 58 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from LTN

The desk holds the return direction for 77 of the 169 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On 35 of them the return into LTN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Amsterdam (AMS) at 6.1 out a day against 0.14 back, Lisbon (LIS) at 4.1 out a day against 0.14 back and Edinburgh (EDI) at 3.6 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Wrocław (WRO) files 2.4 a day back into LTN against 1.7 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at LTN

LTN keeps Europe/London time, three hours behind Dubai in summer and four hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 06:00 at LTN, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for six hours. A customs question raised in the last three hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at LTN until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at LTN

12 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from LTN that lands inside it leaves around 20:59, on a modelled block of 1h 01m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from LTN that lands inside it leaves around 21:56, on a modelled block of 1h 04m. Into Geneva (GVA) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from LTN that lands inside it leaves around 21:21, on a modelled block of 1h 39m. Those three departure times out of LTN are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where LTN turns up on the rest of this site

LTN carries two other pages on this site as well: the United Kingdom country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the LTN transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 16 airport pair pages that start or end at LTN, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are London to Faro (FAO), London to Alicante (ALC) and London to Bucharest (OTP).

Twelve courier postings name LTN as the airport a courier here flies from: Milton Keynes, Northampton and Luton.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with LTN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 169 destinations above.
