Jobs boost for Luton Airport as delivery screening hub set to open
A delivery screening and processing hub will open at Luton Airport later this year, and bring 150 new jobs with it.
GXO Logistics will run its consolidation centre from a refurbished hangar at the airport. The company will check and manage all deliveries coming into the airport for its airside operations when it opens in the first half of 2026.
Martin Cooper, managing director at GXO UK and Ireland, said: “As air travel continues to grow, consolidation centres play a pivotal role in driving efficiencies and improving sustainability for airport groups.
“For almost two decades, we’ve operated in complex logistics environments, including airport consolidation, and we’re looking forward to streamlining London Luton Airport’s delivery process, making it more efficient, further automated and secure.”
Neil Thompson, Chief Operations Officer at the airport, said the partnership will mean the airport has “a smarter, more efficient and streamlined logistical approach”.
He explained: “In 2025 alone, we welcomed five new shop and restaurant openings to the terminal, with more expected this year for our passengers to explore and enjoy. We’re delighted to be working with GXO to develop this facility that will allow us to accept deliveries into one central hub for secure and efficient screening.”
