There is a large pocket of land to the south of the runway that is almost the size of the main apron that is still part of Luton that could be used just for biz jet storage. The problem is getting aircraft towed there which would mean crossing the runway but Luton’s runway is not always busy.
If this is what Harrods are discussing as a long term solution then I'm sure the big expense of new facilities which would need completely new infrastructure will only come after any T2 project is approved. It would be a lost opportunity if Signature did not get on-board as well. Any access would have to be via upgraded roads within South Beds rather than Luton but were there not plans for routing of the A505 South of the airport at one time as part of a East of England initiative?
Short term there is the NHT runway closure as well which will push up demand at Luton further.

Athens, Bari and Reykjavik announced by Wizz Air.
Athens, that was a EZY route at one time before RYR jumped on it from STN.
Reykjavik is getting very crowded now.
