Luton airport saw passenger numbers rise by 2.5% to a record 10.2 million last year.
The additional 250,000 passengers in 2008 were helped by the launch of 13 new routes.
New destinations in France, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Romania proved popular along with the first low cost flights from the UK to Kiev, the airport said.

“With a constantly expanding choice of routes we now offer flights to over 90 destinations and continue to serve the requirements of both the business and leisure traveller.”
