London Stansted Airport has announced a £1.1 billion investment over five years for renovations and expansion.
The expansion of the existing terminal will accommodate an annual passenger capacity of 43 million, including new shops, bars, and restaurants. The construction permit for the expansion was acquired in October 2023. The project is anticipated to create up to 5,000 jobs and generate an economic impact of £2 billion annually. The total construction cost is estimated at £600 million.
In addition to the terminal expansion, plans include the widening of the security hall and the introduction of next-generation security equipment, the creation of a solar power plant, new and additional seating, modifications to the boarding gate layout, refurbishment of toilets and walkways, the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, a drive-thru restaurant, and additional baggage claim carousels.
In the year ending in September, the airport saw 29.3 million passengers, bolstered by the inauguration of services by Royal Jordanian Airlines and SunExpress, and the resumption of British Airways flights.
