The downward trend also continues in London-Luton: In September only 575.000 passengers traveled via the airport - a decrease of 66 percent compared to the same period last year.

“I am very proud of all of our employees who concentrate on their work even in these challenging times. Although passenger numbers recovered somewhat in the summer months, this was short-lived and the numbers began to fall again. I welcome the government's new travel task force, but urge them to work closely with industry to deliberate on the need for quarantine. The focus must be on Covid-19 rapid tests, ”said Alberto Martin, CEO of LLA.
