Luton in short
Luton is one of London’s principal low-cost and leisure airports and the home of easyJet’s headquarters. Wizz Air, Ryanair and Jet2 are also major operators. Luton additionally handles one of the largest volumes of business jets in the UK, so alongside the orange A320s you will regularly see small fast targets on the radar: private jets heading in and out of London.
History and access
Luton Airport opened in 1938 and boomed with the package-holiday era of the 1960s and 70s. The Luton DART people mover now connects the terminal directly to Luton Airport Parkway station, putting the airport about half an hour from central London by rail.
Watching Luton on the radar
Luton shares its airspace with nearby Stansted and Heathrow traffic, which makes the map east of the airport a fascinating weave of climbing and descending aircraft. The single runway means a steady alternation of arrivals and departures rather than parallel streams.
