Love is in the air at London Luton Airport (LLA), after the airport played host to a surprise proposal in its arrivals lounge.

Atanas Dimitrov, a 23-year-old builder from North London surprised his now fiancée, 23-year-old Wizz Air cabin crew member Debora Delcheva, by getting down on one knee and popping the question as she arrived on a flight from Vienna.

Staff at the airport, as well as Atanas’ friends and family, helped prepare the arrivals lounge for the surprise, providing candles, rose petals, red balloons, and a heart-shaped bouquet of roses for the occasion.

And thankfully, Debora said yes!

Debora commented: “Being cabin crew is my dream job, so the fact that Atanas chose to propose at LLA where I’m based was fantastic. It was such a lovely surprise, made all the more special by the flowers, balloons and candles – how could I say no!”

Commenting on the experience, Clare Armstrong, Head of Passenger Services at LLA said: “A proposal is such a special moment, so we jumped at the chance to help Atanas with his surprise. We loved watching the reaction of Debora and our other passengers and were so delighted when Debora said yes!’’

London Luton Airport (LLA) is one of the UK’s busiest airports despite Covid-19, carrying 58 million passengers in the past five years.

The airport is operated by a consortium of which the majority shareholder is AENA, the world’s largest airport operator, and AMP Capital, a specialist global investment manager. Airlines include easyJet, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Tui, Blue Air, FlyOne, Sun Express and El Al.

LLA was the first UK airport to receive the Airport Health Accreditation from Airports Council International (ACI) for health and hygiene measures introduced during the pandemic.

Passengers travelling by rail can reach the airport via a half-hourly express rail service which operates between London and Luton Airport Parkway. In addition, work is nearly complete on a £225 million light rail system linking the airport with Luton Airport Parkway station. The project is being delivered by the airport owners, Luton Rising – a company owned by Luton Council.

LLA is awaiting final approval to raise its annual passenger cap by 1 million, to 19 million. It will not require any physical changes or new construction at the airport and will prepare the airport to support the recovery of the local and national economy as demand for travel returns.
