It is 'unlikely that any vehicles in the car park will be salvageable', Luton Airport has warned - but the site 'remains too dangerous to enter'
It is ‘unlikely that any vehicles in the car park will be salvageable’, Luton Airport has warned – but the site ‘remains too dangerous to enter’
The airport shared an update on Sunday that it is “unlikely that any vehicles in the car park will be salvageable, but this is still in the process of being assessed” after the devastating fire in a multi-storey car park next to the terminal, which caused days of transport chaos.
Only months after it opened, the airport’s £290m direct air-rail transit shuttle, which runs between Luton Airport Parkway station and the airport terminal next to the destroyed car park, will remain out of action “until further notice”.Fifteen fire appliances and more than 100 firefighters were deployed on the evening of Tuesday 10 October in response to a reported fire on level three of Luton’s Terminal Car Park 2.
Drivers have complained of a lack of information after the incident. Lucy Lynam, a 42-year-old accountant from Hertfordshire, said: “I’m still none the wiser as to the state of my car … I’m expecting the worst.”
