LUTON Airport has held a special reception to thank 21 community groups in the town for raising £25,000 of aid for Pakistani flood victims in just three weeks.
The airport launched the appeal in November last year and local people were encouraged to collect dried food items and new blankets at centres throughout town.
Airport staff and community volunteers then packaged aid parcels which were flown direct to Pakistan.
Food packages were distributed to 556 of the most vulnerable familes in the Nowshera and Charsadda regions who are living in makeshift camps.
