Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said up to 1,500 vehicles were inside the car park at the time of the fire.
UK holidaymakers and travellers who left their cars at Luton Airport have been “left in limbo” after a vehicle fire caused a car park to collapse.
Katie Forbes, 42, who lives on the outskirts of Coventry, had travelled to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands with her husband, daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend, due to return on Friday. Ms Forbes added her daughter had left her own car keys in the parked car as well, and said the incident had had a negative impact on their holiday.
Having parked their car on the third floor of Terminal Car Park 2, he said he believes others are being taken care of instead of those looking to confirm the state of their vehicle. However, she praised Luton Airport’s communication, adding she had been emailed “a couple of times with updates”.
