History
The airport was opened just before the second world war. There weren’t many London Luton airport departures before the war came. The Royal Air Force took over the airport during the war. It took a few more years before the airport was restarted with flights. A flying school was established and the first Luton departures were a fact again after 7 years. The package holidays became a real hype that has never gone away. Luton Airport also played a major role in this by having many of these trips depart from Luton. It made a lot of money, but it also had to be expanded. After a few renovations, however, it remained stable instead of continuing to grow. This lasted until the 90’s when Easyjet also decided to carry out Luton Airport departures. A new terminal was built a few years later and the passenger numbers once again rose sharply. From just 2 million in 1995 pre-Easyjet to more than 18 million in the year 2019. The pandemic has reduced it to 6 million.
