London Luton Airport has been shortlisted in the ‘Airport of the Year’ category in this year’s National Transport Award nominations.
The nominations follow a successful 12 months in which the airport was crowned Best European Airport of the Year by Airports Council International Europe, the trade association for 600 European airports. In 2023, Luton was also named as the UK’s best airport by readers of the prestigious Condé Nast Traveller magazine.
This year’s National Transport Award nomination comes in recognition of Luton Airport’s strong operational performance and continued investment in passenger facilities over the past 12 months.
Following the impact of the Luton Airport Express, Luton is also shortlisted alongside East Midlands Railway (EMR) and the airport owner, Luton Rising, in the Best Alliance and Collaboration category. Linking seamlessly with the Luton DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit), the all-electric Luton Airport Express takes passengers from central London to the airport terminal in around 30 minutes.
Alberto Martin, Chief Executive Officer at London Luton Airport, said: “We are delighted to have been nominated for the ‘Airport of the Year’ award which is testament to the professionalism and commitment of our teams across the airport who work so hard to deliver operational excellence and a simple and friendly passenger experience.
“Enhancing connectivity is another key priority for London Luton Airport and it’s great to see our collaborations with rail and bus partners recognised as we look to promote our strong surrounding transport network and reduce the environmental impact of journeys to and from the airport.”
The National Transport Awards winners will be announced on 3rd October at the Westminster Park Plaza in London.
