Terminal works underway at London Stansted

13th February 2018

The first phase of the £600 million Stansted Transformation Programme began in January, which will see the biggest upgrade in passenger facilities since the iconic Lord Foster-designed terminal opened in 1991.

This phase of development will focus on enhancing the terminal, providing an additional 30 check-in desks, extra seating and restaurants in the departures lounge, as well as providing additional car and aircraft parking to cater for increased demand.

“Following a successful 2017, January 2018 has seen continued record passenger numbers at London Stansted. We have a significant year ahead of us, with new airlines and long-haul routes starting, as well as ambitious plans to upgrade our facilities. With Stansted being the only London airport with significant available runway capacity we’re focused on investing in our facilities and ensuring we provide the best passenger experience.”  Ken O’ Toole, London Stansted’s CEO
