 Stansted Airport
, London
|
London Stansted Airport (STN) is a major airport for London served mostly by European low-cost carriers. It is located 48 km (30 miles) north-east of London.
Stansted Airport is the third largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow and Gatwick, and is one of London's five international airports which includes Luton Airport and London City Airport.
Stansted is one of the fastest growing airport in the United Kingdom. From a passenger traffic of 12 million in 2000, it grew to 21.9 million in 2005. The British Airport Authority, BAA, has applied to increase the number of aircraft movement and remove limit on passenger numbers, but this has been rejected by the Uttlesford district council. BAA is also trying to get approval to build a second runway at Stansted - doing that will allow the airport to handle more passengers than Heathrow. So far the plan has met with objections from those concerned over the quality of life in the neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.
