Fire at Luton Airport Terminal Car Park 2

Late in the evening of Tuesday 10th October a fire broke out at Luton Airport Terminal Car Park 2.

All flights to and from Luton Airport were suspended until 3pm on Wednesday 11th October. Access to the airport has now resumed and flights are taking off and landing, but there are knock-on disruptions and delays from the long closure of the airport and passengers are advised to check with their airline before setting off to the airport.
