As usual LTNman is slagging of the airport operator for attempting to be proactive in dealing with a massive increase in vehicular traffic as Luton expands!
LTNman let me remind you that TBI/Aena-Aberetis did not design the current terminal location, or its access. That is history; they have to deal with ‘now’! Airports have to be environmentally friendly, whether that is keeping aircraft noise down for its neighbours, or meeting Government pressures to keep car journeys down to a minimum.
FACT. Any further large expansion of Luton will probably have to go to a public enquiry. To appease local anger at more ‘apparent’ damage to the local environment, Luton must follow Government guidelines, one of which is to reduce the percentage of passengers and staff arriving by private car. Forcing folk to park and walk a few yards can only be good for the health of the nation! One of the last considerations of folk buying low cost flights from Luton, at the time of booking, is car parking. Luton is only playing ‘catch up’ with the other London airports re parking?
Remote parking was inevitable once Luton got really busy with the current Tinminal access! The current airport operator has to live within these constraints, but did not conceive them.
