The UK government has approved plans for a second terminal at Luton Airport, intending to boost passenger capacity from 18 million to 32 million by 2043. This expansion is part of a larger trend across London airports as air travel demand rises. Despite this, environmental critics, citing a Planning Inspectorate report, warn that such expansions contradict national sustainability goals for 2050 and could harm the surrounding landscape. Advocates for the expansion argue it is essential for economic growth and job creation.
The government has greenlit plans for a new terminal at Luton Airport, aiming to double capacity despite environmentalist concerns about sustainability and landscape impact.
Critics warn that expanding Luton and other airports conflicts with the UK’s net zero target by 2050, raising concerns about ecological damage.
