Headline: Luton Airport Expansion Approved Despite Environmental Concerns

Caption:

Luton Airport's major expansion has been approved by UK Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, despite the Planning Inspectorate advising against it due to environmental concerns. The plans involve a new terminal—not a runway—and would raise the airport's passenger cap from 18 million to 32 million by the mid-2040s.
