"Luton Airport" is a 1979 song by Cats U.K.. It made #22 on the UK Singles Chart[2] after being featured in an advert for Campari[3]and not the #9 as Deena Payne, who provided the vocals for the song, would like to believe:

In 1978 there was an advert for a girl group called Cats UK. I auditioned as I was in musical theatre and I got the job - it was to sing Luton Airport. Clearly this song was done for Lorraine, she'd said it in a famous advert for Campari. But Lorraine didn't really want to have anything to do with it [because she objected to not being paid for it]. So Cats UK ended up recording it and went to No 9 in the charts.
