Stansted Airport promises 5,000 jobs with terminal extension plan

Bosses at Stansted Airport are promising 5,000 new jobs under plans to extend its terminal building. The planning application, which is due to be submitted to the local council, includes an extra three aircraft bays, a larger security hall and departure lounge, plus more baggage capacity. Managing director Gareth Powell said it would see the airport's economic contribution double to GBP2b annually. The Essex airport handled more than 26m passengers in the past year. A spokesman said Stansted was expected to pass pre-pandemic passenger levels during the coming year and was set for its busiest summer season on record.<br/>
