LCCI Calls for Approval of Development Consent Order to Expand London Luton Airport

Friday 13 December 2024

Today LCCI and Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce submitted an Open Letter on behalf of 139 businesses addressed to both the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, calling for the approval of the Development Consent Order to expand London Luton Airport.

The letter, which can be read in full below, endorses London Luton Airport’s expansion proposals, which will deliver significant economic benefits to England and the South East and support the Government’s ambitions for national renewal in areas including job creation, sustainable aviation and addressing deprivation across the UK. The proposals would contribute around £1.3 billion in additional GDP across the three counties of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and £1.5 billion nationally. 

We are urging the Chancellor and Business Secretary to consider the economic impact the DCO could have, as well as the strong support from the national and local business communities in their decision making.
