The inferno was caused by a car fire, London Luton airport said in a statement
All flights have been suspended at Luton airport as a huge fire tears through a terminal car park.
Access to the airport has been restricted by the fire at Terminal 2 short stay, with people warned not to travel to get their flights.
The inferno was caused by a car fire, the airport said in a statement, and emergency services are in attendance.
Passengers have claimed online that boarded flights on the tarmac are being disembarked and that they have been told the airport has closed.
Eyewitness Molly Bullard described 'scary scenes' as the short stay was 'exploding into flames'.
She said on X: 'There is no transport in or out of Luton Airport. Passengers are being evacuated to walk on the footpath via the road underpass. All airport buses and vehicles are trapped by road blocks.'
Footage shows vicious fires whipped up by the wind, which appear to have covered much of the roof of the multi-storey structure.
The airport wrote on X: 'Emergency services are currently responding to a car fire in Terminal Car Park 2, restricting access to the airport.'

Another spontaneously combusting EV? Started this fire at this airports multi-level parking garage?
Taking bets…
1. Islamists
2. EV
Self immolating EV? 🚗🔥
What’s the bet an EV caught on fire...
You win.
I wonder if was started by an EV.
Buy more EVs! I’m actually glad I can’t afford one, though I wouldn’t buy one if I could.
“All flights are suspended as emergency crews respond to blaze at terminal car park “
Sounds like someone was able sneak in their Tesla to the car park.
That was my first question when the source of the fire was said to be a car in the parking garage.
What kind of car fire?
Or perhaps: “A fire from what kind of car?”
Well, if you wanted to attack a plane why alert the authorities with a silly car fire? So either a small protest statement to disrupt the general commerce, or just one of those freak accidents.
I say muzzies
Caused by Climate Change! Fer sure!
I honestly can’t think of a time when a gasoline powered car spontaneously burst into flames while sitting unattended. I’ve never seen one reported. The only cars I’ve seen burning were running or someone was trying to get one running.
Caused by people over-reacting to perceived climate change.
Relax it’s just another EV ending it’s life
Hm? .... An EV?
