Large town, borough and unitary authority in Bedfordshire with an airport (5)

I believe the answer is:

luton

(Other definitions for luton that I've seen before include "Town north of London" , "Bedfordshire town and airport" , "Beds town" , "Town and airport northwest of London" , "Bedfordshire motor and erstwhile millinery town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
