History of London Luton Airport

London Luton Airport was officially opened on July 16, 1938 by the Minister of Transport, Kingsley Wood. The airport belonged to Luton Borough and was thought to be London’s northern terminus.

During World War II, the airport was used as a base for the 264 Fighter Squadron. At the same time, both civilian and military aircraft were designed and produced at the facilities located in the base. Closed to civil aviation during the war, the port was reopened for civilian use in 1952 and a new control tower was built.

At the beginning of the 60s, flights were launched to many routes, especially for UK tourism. Key to this development was the establishment of Britannia Airways, now one of the world’s largest charter airlines, in 1962. In 1969, one-fifth of all holiday flights from the UK were from Luton Airport, and by 1972 Luton had become the UK’s most profitable airport. However, in 1974, Luton was hit hard by the liquidation of major tour operator Clarksons and airline Court Line.

In 1985, a new international terminal building was opened in order to stop the decline and increase the number of passengers at Luton Airport. In 1986, Luton Airport experienced a massive increase in visitors, thanks to scheduled flights from Spain and Ireland. These two routes made up more than 70% of the airport.

In 1987 Luton International Airport became a Limited Company with Luton Borough Council the sole shareholder. The airport was renamed London Luton Airport in 1990 to mark its location as part of the London airport network, but the decline in passenger numbers resumed in 1991 as Ryanair moved most of its business to Stansted airport.

Business increased during this period with the launch of Airtours flights and low-cost scheduled airlines Easyjet and Debonair in early 1997. Passenger levels soared from 3,4 million in 1997, but rose again to 4,4 million the following year in 1998, making London Luton the UK’s fastest growing major airport.

In the Fall of 1999, a terminal development program for the airport with a capacity of 40 million passengers with 60 check-in desks, modern baggage and flight information systems and a wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars was completed, and this program was officially opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in November 1999.

The airport continued to grow steadily, and in 2014 the airport reported a record number of passengers, with more than 10 million visitors using the terminals. In the same year, a major redevelopment plan was initiated to redesign the terminal and provide a smooth and easy experience for airport visitors. In December 2018, the three-year redevelopment of Luton Airport was officially launched. Many renovation works were completed within the framework of the program planned in 2021 and the capacity of the port was increased to 18 million passengers.
