The completion of the £20 million project positions London Luton Airport as one of the first major airports to complete the roll-out in time for the busy summer holidays.
With all security lanes at the airport now equipped with state-of-the-art body scanners and CT scanner technology, passengers travelling this summer will benefit from faster security processing times, although current Government restrictions mean bottles and containers must still be limited to 100ml or less.
Recently crowned European Airport of the year (10-25 million passengers) at the prestigious ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards, London Luton Airport is set to welcome over 2.5 million passengers over the school holidays*.
Neil Thompson, Chief Operations Officer at London Luton Airport, commented: “We are delighted to become one of the first major airports to offer the benefits of next generation security to all passengers. This investment provides London Luton Airport with enhanced screening technology that will significantly elevate the service provided to passengers flying from London Luton Airport this summer and beyond, aligning perfectly with the simple, friendly passenger experience we always look to deliver.”
Early risers can also now take advantage of London Luton Airport’s newly launched Prebook Security initiative, another option designed to make the London Luton Airport security experience as quick and easy as possible. The free service allows passengers to skip security queues by reserving a 10-minute slot up to four days before travelling.
