Emergency services have now handed back control of the multi-storey car park to the airport.
Luton Airport says it is "unlikely" any vehicles will be salvageable following a massive fire that caused one of its car parks to collapse.
Up to 1,500 cars were inside and the airport said it had replied to almost 16,500 customer queries since the fire."Regrettably, it is unlikely that any vehicles in the car park will be salvageable, but this is still in the process of being assessed," said an airport spokesman. "We recognise this has been an extremely distressing time for all concerned and we would like to thank our customers for their ongoing patience and understanding while we work through the many complexities following this incident."
The spokesman said the airport had provided the Motor Insurers' Bureau with the registration details of 1,405 vehicles and was working with the Association of British Insurers to try to retrieve any personal items.Inbound passengers on Tuesday were diverted to other airports, some scrambled to find alternative transport or hotel accommodation while others
