This is the airport that plans to double aircraft movements but has offered no solution in solving congested skies.
Looking at flight radar Luton seems to get particularly affected while Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted doesn't. Yes they have queues but the queues move while at Luton they often don't.
bbc reporting that today should break records for numbers of flights in UK airspace, could be more next week with you know what occuring.....departure queues....
