In comparison, the airport welcomed just 106,000 passengers in April 2021. Short stay city breaks were in high demand over the Easter half-term with Amsterdam topping the list of most popular destinations, followed by Bucharest, Budapest, Warsaw and Tirana.

April’s figures set the scene for what is shaping up to be a busy summer for Luton, with the rise in passenger numbers expected to continue.
