Despite some opposition from environmentalists, Stansted’s airport expansion is set to move forward, making it Britain’s second largest airport along with Gatwick. The move means an increase in passenger travel from 23 million to 35 million. The number of planes allowed to fly in and out will increase from 241,000 to 264,000. Currently, 184,000 planes use the airport. The expansion follows a study showing a shortage of runways in the Southeast. Whether the move will mean a shift in passengers’ airport of choice remains to be seen.

Taxis Stansted Airport // December 6, 2008 at 3:27 pm |
It will be nice to see the growth at Stansted and I am sure the Taxis at Stansted Airport will increase in numbers. This will make up for some of the lay offs there have been around the country and give employment to Taxi drivers in the Stansted Airport area. Peter
