All flights at London Luton Airport have been suspended and people have been asked not to travel there because of a large fire in a terminal car park.

Ten fire engines have been attending the blaze at Terminal Car Park 2 where 80% of the third floor was affected, Bedfordshire Fire Service says.

Footage shared online shows huge flames and billowing smoke from the top floor of the multi-storey building.

East of England Ambulance Service said no casualties had been reported so far.

The airport said a car fire had spread.

Vehicle alarms and loud explosions could be heard, with one witness describing the speed at which the blaze had torn through the upper floor of the car park as “incredible”.

Russell Taylor, 41, an account director from Kinross, saw the flames after flying in to London Luton from Edinburgh.

He told the PA news agency: “There were a couple of fire engines with a car ablaze on the upper floor of the car park at just after 9pm.

“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.”

The fire service said the first call about the fire had come at 20:47 BST.

The airport said in a statement: “All flights are currently suspended as emergency services respond to a car fire that has spread in Terminal Car Park 2.

“Access to the airport is currently restricted and we ask that people do not travel to the airport at this time. Further updates to follow.”

It said additional staff were on hand to provide assistance to passengers, and said they should contact their airline for flight information.
