Luton airport saw passenger numbers rise by 2.5% to a record 10.2 million last year.
 
The additional 250,000 passengers in 2008 were helped by the launch of 13 new routes.
 
New destinations in France, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Romania proved popular along with the first low cost flights from the UK to Kiev, the airport said.

Luton has confirmed further new services to Lvov in the Ukraine, Prague and Jersey this year.
 
Marketing director Natalie Raper said: “The figures show a continuing trend for travellers to choose London Luton Airport in the highly competitive South East UK market.
 
“With a constantly expanding choice of routes we now offer flights to over 90 destinations and continue to serve the requirements of both the business and leisure traveller.”
