London Luton ready for busy summer after traffic upturn

Share

London Luton Airport welcomed 1.2 million passengers in May, with a further 200,000 travelling across the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee between June 2-5.

Despite the significant increase in passengers, the airport’s operations teams managed to provide a smooth travel experience for customers, with security wait times averaging ten minutes or less and almost 99% of flights operating as scheduled.

London Luton (LLA) is now preparing for a busy summer with more than five million people expected to use the airport between now and the end of September.

Passengers flying from the gateway this summer will have a choice of 130 destinations across Europe and North Africa.

Passengers departing from LLA will also have an even wider choice of options to quench their thirst, grab a light bite or dine out in style with new airside openings including The Big Smoke Taphouse & Kitchen, a new Burger King restaurant for fast food fans, and two eye-catching, self-serve Illy coffee outlets.

Bookworms looking for some holiday reading inspiration will be scouring the shelves of LLA’s most recent retail opening, a new WHSmith Bookshop, whilst ChangeGroup will be providing even greater choice and convenience to passengers with the opening of additional currency exchange outlets and ATMs.

Alberto Martin, CEO of LLA, said: “The half-term holiday provided further evidence of the continued surge in demand for air travel, and I’m delighted that LLA was able to step-up in what has been a difficult period for our industry.

“The hard work and commitment of our frontline teams was key to this success, as it has been all year, and it has been fantastic to receive such positive feedback from our customers.

“The airport has achieved an average wait time for security of less than 10 minutes year to date, and with a busy summer ahead of us, we will be working hard to maintain a high level of operational and customer service excellence.”
