The £200m transit scheme linking Luton airport terminal to the railway will not operate until next year at the earliest.
The new rail link will connect the existing Luton Airport Parkway station to the terminal building
Luton Rising, which owns the airport, said the delay was mostly down to revenue and ticketing arrangements.London Luton is the UK's fifth busiest airport and saw 1.2m passengers pass through its gates in April compared with 106,000 in April 2021. It is hoped that passengers will be able to travel between the airport and London in just over half an hour.Luton Rising, which is owned by Luton Borough Council, said the project would help to "reduce the environmental impact of journeys to and from the airport and congestion on surrounding roads" and improve the airport's "competitive position".
"Testing of the system is significantly advanced, but there remain several important tasks that we are working to complete with our partners, which relate mostly to complexities and alignment of the system's revenue and ticketing arrangements," he said.
