Bosses at the airport's council-run parent company said they would put measures in place after the fire, but admitted they 'never saw it coming'.
Airport bosses have promised to "learn lessons" from a devastating multi-storey car park fire, but said no one could have foreseen the blaze.'s Terminal Car Park 2 on Tuesday night and several floors "partially collapsed" as a result of the damage.
Councillor Javeria Hussain, chair of Luton Rising, the Luton Council company which owns the Bedfordshire airport, said: "We will work with the operator of the airport to ensure we learn lessons and ensure appropriate measures are put in place going forward."We’re in shock and distress because the airport is at the beating heart of Luton’s community. It's the biggest employer in the town and the fire was a massive blow.
Ms Hussain said it was "too soon" to discuss costs following the fire or to tell holidaymakers when they would find out what would happen to their cars stuck in the building. She added the council did not believe there would be a long term impact on the airport or its expansion plans.
