London Luton Airport (IATA: LTN, ICAO: EGGW), previously called Luton International Airport, is an international airport located 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km; 1.7 mi) east of the town centre in the Borough of Luton in Bedfordshire, England and is 30.5 NM (56.5 km; 35.1 mi) north of Central London. The airport is 2 mi (3.2 km) from Junction 10a of the M1 motorway. It is the fourth-largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, and is one of London's six international airports along with London City and Southend.
In 2014, just under 10.5 million passengers passed through the airport, a record total for Luton making it the sixth busiest airport in the UK. The airport serves as a base for EasyJet, Monarch, Thomson Airways and Ryanair. The vast majority of the routes served are within Europe, although there are some charter and scheduled routes to destinations in Northern Africa, The United States and Asia.
An airport was opened on the site on 16 July 1938 by the Secretary of State for Air, Kingsley Wood. During World War II, it was a base for Royal Air Force fighters. Situated where the valley of the River Lea cuts its way through the north-east end of the Chiltern Hills, the airport occupies a hill-top location, with a roughly 40 m (130 ft) drop-off at the western end of the runway
Theres something in the air
Doesnt anybody care anymore?
Theres something on the breeze
Forcing me to my knees.
Theres something in the way that the
Sky went dim today
Was it something in the night
That pulled you from my side
CHORUS:
Light the beacons as a warning
To say the time has come
Send the smoke signals before morning (its not too late)
Let everyone know this is the Dawn Song
The Time Has Come!
I feel theres something in the way
You never called me back today
Is it something someone said?
Cause I see the vultures circling my bed.
Theres something in the sounds
I hear echoing around
They carry the burden of foresight
Do they tell of the coming absence of light
BRIDGE
And I hope its a thousand years
Before I cry these tears again
And I can feel the time is near
CHORUS:
Light the beacons as a warning
To say the time has come
Send the smoke signals before morning
