London Luton Airport handled 1.2 million passengers in March 2023, a 49% increase on the same month in 2022.
Almost 3.3 million passengers have used the airport in 2023
The month saw the launch of the Luton Airport Express, a non-stop train service launched by East Midlands Railway (EMR) and linking the airport to London St Pancras station.
“It’s great to see a continued rise in our year-on-year passenger numbers, a demonstration of the obvious appetite for air travel in 2023, and London Luton Airport’s appeal," said Neil Thompson, operations director.
"The launch of the Luton Airport Express service, alongside the DART, will be transformational for LLA, providing passengers arriving by rail with a faster, more frequent service from central London, as well as direct, seamless and more sustainable connections from more than 60 stations across the rail network," Thompson added.
