It is believed the man was arrested as a precaution, and the police investigation so far suggests the fire started accidentally due to a vehicle fault.

The fire at Luton Airport car park was started accidentally due to a vehicle fault, Sky News understands. A man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage in connection to the incident on 10 October. It is believed the man, who has been released on bail, was arrested as a precaution and the police investigation so far suggests the fire started accidentally due to a vehicle fault.

'We are carrying out a thorough and diligent investigation into all potential lines of enquiry, as should be expected after such a major event. 'The man has been released on bail while our enquiries continue.' Luton Airport said last week that it was 'unlikely' that any vehicles would be 'salvageable' following the fire, which caused a partial collapse of the car park.
