Hi Ben,
EASTAMB should still respond to this request with the clarification you are after, but I think the information they've provided is this:
In 2018, there were 536 calls to either 999 or 111 from London Luton Airport, of which 397 were to 999 and 242 were responded to by ambulance attendance.
In 2019, there were 531 calls to either 999 or 111 from London Luton Airport, of which 361 were to 999 and 216 were responded to by ambulance attendance.
Hope this is helpful.
Finlay
