How to avoid airport chaos
By Graham Olver, CEO at Luton Rising
It’s been hard to escape the wall-to-wall media coverage lately highlighting scenes of “chaos” and lengthy queues at UK airports. But one airport that has been noticeably absent from these stories is London Luton Airport (LLA). There is a good reason for that. For the year to date, average waiting times at LLA have been 15 minutes for check-in, 7 minutes for security, and 11 minutes for passport control. So how has LLA achieved this?
Apprentices at Luton Rising promoted to permanent staff members
Luton Rising is delighted to be able to celebrate the fantastic success of our apprentices, who were promoted to full time staff members earlier this month. This is a huge milestone for our apprentices, who have worked hard over 12 months to develop their skills through training and professional work experience.
Our proposed expansion – what’s happened since the consultation?
Earlier this year we conducted a third public consultation on our plans for the sustainable long-term expansion of London Luton Airport to 32 million passengers per annum (mppa) by the mid-2040s.
This was a second statutory consultation, and sought feedback on updated proposals for a second terminal and associated infrastructure to deliver this passenger growth.
Second round of Special Events funding now open
