Construction update

The first entrance to open of the terminal extension has been closed to allow the canopy and a staircase to be added. Walk to the left of the wall to use the stairs or to the right of the wall to use the slope.


Luton's state of the art signature canopy made from stretched canvas.


Work carries on with the removal of the walkway to what was the short term car park that was open for just over a year.


If anyone needs a demonstration of the decline of business jets at Luton here are some sobering photos. Not only was the pond empty of any biz jets due to Signature losing control of that apron to the airport but only 2 biz jets were parked in the NW corner and on the apron by the former flying club there were just 3 aircraft parked. Harrods seemed half empty as well no doubt due to the rumoured increase in handling charges by both FBO's to maybe compensate for the loss of business.

Total bizjets today parked on these 3 aprons were just 2 aircraft.
