UK: London Stansted plans major expansion
London’s third airport, Stansted, is to build a separate arrivals building to allow for future expansion. The GBP130m (US$160m) building will take around 3 years to complete. The airport’s operator, Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which also operates the Manchester, East Midlands and Bournemouth airports, says Stansted has the greatest number of European destinations of any UK airport. The airport has a current throughput of around 24m passengers, and is currently the busiest single terminal airport in the UK. The plan being submitted to local planning authorities focuses on providing new facilities that will allow Stansted to grow to its current planning limit of 35m passengers and, potentially, up to the airport’s single-runway design capacity of 43m. <br/>
