Definitive green light for Luton’s £3bn expansion that Aena aspires to
The UK Supreme Court has rejected the final appeal and now the remodeling and second terminal of London's fourth airport can be promoted. The Spanish group, which has the concession until 2032, wants to take charge of the works and the management of the new facilities.
The UK Supreme Court has rejected a final appeal, paving the way for the expansion of London's Luton Airport, which is managed by Aena. The airport's owner, Luton Rising, can now push forward with plans for a second terminal, which will increase the airport's capacity from 19 million to 32 million passengers per year by the mid-2040s.
Aena, which has a 51% stake in the airport's concessionaire, wants to oversee the construction and management of the new facilities, with its concession set to run until 2032. The airport served 10.6 million passengers in the first seven months of the year, a 5.8% increase on the same period last year.
