What distinguishes Luton airport is the pioneering role that this outstanding airport has played in promotion of the all inclusive package holiday concept of the 1960's. The concept of charter traffic originated from Luton airport with the creation of a brand new charter airline called Euravia. Although, by the end of 1964, Euravia was rechristened as Britannia Airways and again in the year 2004 it took on a new name - Thomsonfly. Today Thomsonfly is the world's largest charter airline and significantly is based in Luton airport itself.
