Essential Runway Resurfacing Works

London Luton Airport (LLA) will begin essential runway resurfacing works on 3 November 2025. The work to upgrade the durability and performance of the runway is necessary to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of airport operations and to ensure that LLA continues to meet all regulatory safety requirements.

To minimise disruption to airport operations, all works will take place overnight between 00:01 and 05:45, Monday to Friday. During this time, the runway will be closed to all aircraft movements. The project is expected to run for approximately five months.

The project forms part of the long-term investment in the airport and will be carried out by Lagan Aviation and Infrastructure, a contractor highly experienced in airfield projects.

We recognise that projects of this scale can raise questions or concerns, particularly around noise disturbance and light pollution. While some disruption is unavoidable, every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum. We will closely monitor noise levels throughout the project. Wherever possible, materials will be reused to reduce both waste and the movement of vehicles.

We would like to thank local residents for their understanding and cooperation as we complete this essential upgrade.

London Luton Airport has written to more than 25,000 households to notify them of the work. Any questions regarding the project should be emailed to [email protected] or sent in writing to London Luton Airport, Runway Resurfacing Project, Percival House, Percival Way, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU2 9NU.
