Luton defies Aena and will tender the expansion in 2027 for around 4.2 billion
The Spanish group, with the concession until 2032, will have to go to a tender to execute the works and continue operating. The budget, with 2025 prices, could still undergo changes.
Luton Rising, the public company that owns London's Luton Airport, will hold a tender to renew the concession for the airport's expansion and management. The current concession, held by Aena, expires in September 2032, and Luton Rising has six years to find a new operator. The airport's expansion, planned in two phases, aims to increase its annual passenger capacity from 19 million to 32 million by the mid-2040s.
The project is expected to cost over £3.6 billion, and Aena has expressed interest in continuing to operate the airport.
