New Luton Airport drop off zone ‘complete shambles’
07.01.09
Luton Airport has defended the changes to its pick up and drop off zone after passengers branded the new set up as ‘a complete shambles’, Bedford Today reports. The new set down car park is further away from the terminal than the previous zone and has already caused major congestion and frustration for travellers, the newspaper reports.
Airport bosses have said the jams should be temporary and are due to major works to improve the central terminal area, which they hope will eventually reduce traffic problems. The works, which also include changes to the bus set down area, the main terminal roundabout and short term car park, began last September and will continue until Easter.
In the meantime, travellers are unimpressed with the new drop off zone. Holidaymaker Nick Breakspear told Bedford Today: ‘It's a complete shambles. The roundabout where the new road comes in at the Ibis [airport hotel] is awful, they queue all the way down and nothing moves, and you try to edge your way across and no-one wants to give way.'
