Luton ATC issues
So Luton want to build another control tower only 10 years after the latest one was opened. This is all part of project 2030 which maybe should be called project 2012. By that date, if the airport get their way, a second parallel 3000 runway will be opened some 950m south of the exiting one together with a new terminal and apron. The old runway will remain open for business jets but how will London’s airspace cope with a two runway Luton used by a projected 30m passengers as well as a two runway Stansted and a three runway Heathrow? Can Northolt remain open?
