A mere 6% annual growth rate would take Luton to 27.75 million passengers in just 10 years time. A 10% growth rate would take Luton to 40 million passengers. Seeing that there are no published plans to take Luton beyond 18 million passengers a future growth rate of 3% would give the airport 6 years to get plans published and to actually complete something before it hits capacity. That timescale makes it unlikely to happen using the present expansion as an example.
