Police have charged 11 people with violent disorder after a fight broke out at Luton Airport.

Four people were injured, three seriously, in the brawl, which happened in the main departure lounge on Friday morning.

The 11 men, aged between 20 and 55, were released on bail ahead of a court hearing.

Five other people were released without charge and another was released on bail with conditions.

A spokesman for the airport said it was “shocked and saddened” by the violence.

He added: “We take a zero tolerance approach to violence and continue to assist the police with their inquiries.

“We would like to sincerely apologise to any passengers affected.”
