London Stansted Airport Flying to over 170 destinations in 37 countries via 15 carriers, London Stansted Airport is the fourth busiest airport in the U.K. Last twelve months rolling annual total passenger figures (October 2015) reached 22,313,000 up 15.0% from 2014. These figures demonstrate the ever growing demand for the airport, serving over 2 million passengers each month for last six consecutive months. Forecasts for 2016 also show further growth in passenger numbers. Following the acquisition of London Stansted Airport in 2013 by The Manchester Airports Group Plc (M.A.G), its rapid successive growth has allowed for further investment in the terminal infrastructure. With new routes to Europe also being added, the airport is well positioned to build upon its already solid business base. The return of longhaul services in July 2015 with destinations such as Orlando, Las Vegas and Cancun has also contributed to the financial success of the airport with EBITDA up 25.6m to 114.5m (+28.8%) on 2014. New flights have generated around 3m extra passenger numbers in the last 12 months. The airport also benefits from approximately 25,000 parking spaces and is highly accessible from the M11 and M25 motorways. Dedicated Stansted Express railway and coach services provide fast and affordable access to central London.
