The London Luton Airport has submitted plans for a £100 million (EUR 1.4 million) to build a direct railway line from central London. The project aims to increase passenger capacity by 50 per cent as well as enhance the customer experience.
‘The project has been gearing up over the last year to see how building and improvement work could improve the transport infrastructure at the airport. The greatest opportunity for us to do that is rail, and there are two big things we are trying to do’, Ollie Jaycock, head of Marketing & Strategic Affairs at London Luton told MailOnline Travel.
The aim of the project is to increase passenger footfall from the current 12 million to at least 18 million by 2026.
Passenger numbers at London Luton Airport grew by 16 per cent in June compared with the same month last year. A record-breaking 1.2million passengers travelled through the airport in June, marking 15 months of consecutive growth.
