This means that all the success we have at our airport, the UK’s leading community airport, continues to be invested across our incredible local communities in order to improve people’s lives. Such investment includes empowering our communities by celebrating the achievements of local unsung heroes who wake up every day to make Luton a better place through their voluntary and community activities.
