Wanted: views on Stansted’s future

LONDON STANSTED AIRPORT is expecting to play a key role in meeting the UK air traffic demand over the next 10-15 years, and has sought public opinion and ideas on how to improve services and facilities.

The move comes as Stansted becomes one of the fastest growing airports in London following a 7.2 percent increase in passenger numbers in the last 12 months.

 

Managing director Andrew Harrison said: ‘It’s great to see the airport so busy again this summer, thanks to the new routes and increased frequencies offered by our airline partners.’ According to Harrison, the airport has the ability to double its current passenger throughout and serve 40-45 million a year on the existing runway.

‘To keep pace with this growth and plan for the future, we are investing £260 million to transform passenger services and facilities, and we have launched a consultation on how we can develop Stansted and make effective use of the existing capacity on the airport’s single runway. We want to hear from all those with an interest in how Stansted grows so I would encourage as many people as possible to share their views and ideas.’
