London's Luton airport suspends flights due to huge ablaze in car parking area

Hindustan Times  

London's Luton Airport has suspended all flights until Wednesday afternoon and asked passengers not to travel there after a "significant fire" caused the partial collapse of a parking structure. Flames are seen as emergency services respond to a fire in Terminal Car Park 2 at London Luton airport in Luton "The safety of our passengers and staff remains our main priority. We have therefore taken the decision to suspend all flights until 12pm on Wednesday 11th October," the airport said in a statement issued early Wednesday morning. "A few minutes later most of the upper floor was alight, car alarms were going off with loud explosions from cars going up in flames," Russell Taylor, 41, an account director from Scotland told British newswire PA. "The speed in which the fire took hold was incredible."
