VET5A - Airport #5 - Visit London's Luton Airport (EGGW)

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

The fifth and final airport to visit in the UK's list of busiest airports is London's Luton Airport!

Despite its location some 35 miles to the north of Central London and its status as a major town in its own right, Luton International was renamed London Luton in 1990 and passenger traffic has skyrocketed since.

The airport would handle just 2 million passengers per year during the early 1990’s but more than 18 million passed through Luton’s single two-storey terminal in 2019. Like Stansted, it has benefited from the popularity of low-cost travel. It is the main hub for easyJet, the second largest low-cost airline in Europe while Hungary’s Wizz Air also runs a large number of budget flights from Luton to cities across Eastern Europe.
