London Luton Airport said 1,400 vehicles left in the car park were unlikely to be salvageable.
Luton Airport has said it is “unlikely that any vehicles will be salvageable” following the massive fire in its multi-storey car park.
Andrew Hopkinson, chief fire officer for Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said up to 1,500 vehicles were inside the car park at the time of the fire. The airport said it had provided the Motor Insurers’ Bureau with the registration details of 1,405 vehicles and, along with its parking provider APCOA, it had responded to almost 16,500 customer queries since the fire.An airport spokesperson said it recognised it has been an “extremely distressing” time for those affected and was working with the Association of British Insurers to establish the possibility of safely retrieving any personal items from the vehicles.
A London Luton Airport spokesperson said: “We would like to thank our customers for their ongoing patience and understanding while we work through the many complexities following this incident.“
