I am going through the flight logs and I see Prince Andrew uses this near-London airport, EGGW. I had took up a lot of airport codes.

Anyway, I wonder if this airport is a pedo hub like Teterboro, NJ is. Dwrshowitz flow out of Teterboro.

I think pedos have certain "favorite" airports (opinion).

Luton Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luton_Airport

The airport serves as a base for EasyJet, TUI Airways, Ryanair and Wizz Air and previously served as a base for Monarch Airlines until it ceased operations in October 2017

The company later became a low-cost airline[4][5] in 2004 before abandoning charter flying completely. The airline's headquarters were at Luton, and it had operating bases at Birmingham, Leeds/Bradford, Gatwick and Manchester.

Thanks for all the good research. I will use it my next flight log post (coming out today, later).

The reason I said that about Teterboro was I saw this: https://news.yahoo.com/jerseys-teterboro-airport-travel-hub-130026535.html

Thank you! I hadn't thought of doing that. That's the code for Luton Airport.

July 2019 article: Princess Royal visits Luton Airport's new terminal building

Princess Anne visited the airport on Tuesday and was shown around the renovated terminal, including the redesigned arrivals area where a new mural was unveiled.

The mural creates a pair of wings, with each feather representing every woman who works at the airport, and was presented to Princess Anne by a group of local Girl Guides, Brownies and Rainbows. Her Royal Highness met women who work across the airport, members of the airport's protective security team and their dogs. She was also given a tour of the control tower, which she visited to mark its completion in 1995.
