The vision before half the wooden ceiling got scrapped. My top photo was taken by the second pillar from the right of the artists impression. The actual layout is spot on but it is just the finish as though no one cares about passenger perceptions. This is why the airport will struggle to attract anymore full fare airlines. It's the little things like the airport putting up plasterboard walls and then painting them with white emulsion so within 10 minutes of the paint drying they get scuffed.
Also when did Luton last attract a new airline to fly services into it? Don't remember any in 2018. Luton is only full for night stoppers and not for foreign airlines wanting daytime access.
