Dave Hughes, Airport Firefighter
"LLA, as both an airport and an employer, inspires me. I feel proud to work for a forward-thinking company with a company culture that values its staff and passengers as it's most valuable assets.
I started my career in the airport Fire Service 34 years ago, which says it all really! I now use a lot of my time to train staff in life-saving first aid; an area that I feel most passionate about. Being involved in this challenges me and I feel empowered to be my best and share the life-saving skills."
Mark Graves, Head of Technical Services
"Having lived in Luton all my life, the airport seemed a great place to work. I started my career here as an Electrical Technician 25 years ago and I am now Head of Technical Services.
No day is the same; there’s a wealth of challenges and opportunities which make the role interesting. But, the best thing is the people; I work with a fantastic team and interact with a range of LLA'ers all working towards the same goal. Working at LLA has enabled me to have just the perfect work-life balance."
Humayra Khanom, Aviation Security Officer
"Working as an Aviation Security Officer is a very rewarding job. Knowing that I am helping to create a safe environment for the general public gives me great satisfaction. Literally no two days are the same and it is a lot of fun. I can't believe I have already been here 5 years! I am proud to be a woman in aviation and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for my career here."
Kit Ke, IT Cyber Security Architect
"There are many reasons why I love where I work: LLA is a fast-paced environment with a constant stream of engaging and motivating work; LLA’ers work collaboratively and there is a great sense of camaraderie among colleagues; there are a variety of job prospects available across the company and lots of opportunities to advance in one’s career; LLA is bustling with people from different parts of the world and I love interacting with people from diverse cultures.
Every day brings new challenges, but we are all working towards the same goal: to be the simplest and friendliest major airport - I believe nothing is impossible for us and the sky is the limit."
Pravin Patel, Operations Duty Manager
"I joined LLA in September 2004 as a Security Aviation Officer and then moved to the Airside Operations team where I have progressed onto become an Operations Duty Manager. I feel very proud to work at LLA as I work with an amazing, friendly team who are loyal and highly motivated.
The airport is a great place to work because I have gained invaluable skills and experience that have helped me to get where I am today in my career."
Lindy Harding, Security Duty Manager
"I joined LLA more than 20 years ago (whilst awaiting for a place within the Police) but ended up staying here!
Back when I joined, the aviation industry didn't attract many females, fortunately that has now changed and I feel proud to be a part of that change.
I am grateful to be part of a strong team whose different qualities continue to overcome daily challenges and promote a safe environment for our guests to travel."
