Monday, April 20, 2020

London Luton Airport is focused  on supporting the local community and making best use of its facilities. It. is supported by its shareholders AENA and AMP Capital

The passenger traffic nears zero with almost 70 per cent of the workforce no longer involved in the day to day running of the facility. There is a minimum level of staffing required to continue essential operations, some of the airport’s medically trained firefighters will be redeployed with the East of England ambulance service to assist them with their duties.

An online volunteer hub is also set up with the target of providing at least 100 volunteers, across 18 different local charities and organisations, including Achieving Together, a provider of support for people with learning disabilities and autism.

London Luton has also registered its equipment and facilities for central government, local authorities and health services to use because of the large site and great accessibility. They are offering use of the car parks for a coronavirus testing site if required.

Alberto Martin, London Luton chief executive, said that the desire from our teams and partners to support those in greatest need during these extraordinary times fills him with admiration for our people and wider airport community.
