Luton Airport

London Luton Airport previously called Luton International Airport, is an international airport located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) east of the town center in the Borough of Luton in Bedfordshire. It is the fourth-largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, and is one of London’s six international airports along with London City and Southend.

The airport serves as a base for EasyJet, Monarch, Thomson Airways, and Ryanair. The vast majority of the routes served are within Europe, although there are some charter and scheduled routes to destinations in Northern Africa and Asia.

All the airport facilities lie to the north of the runway. The terminal and aprons have a somewhat unusual layout, with ground-side access to the terminal being via a road (which goes under the taxiway) to a bus station, drop-off area, taxi rank, and short-term car park on the runway side of the terminal building. There are approximately 60 stands available for aircraft. All of these stands are located on the northern side of the terminal building, away from the runway, and connected to it by a ‘U’ shaped set of taxiways and aprons that together encircle the terminal.
