Passenger improvements unveiled at Stansted |
People embarking on their villa holidays from Stansted airport now have access to a number of new features following the opening of a new terminal extension this week.
The new facilities, which were unveiled on July 1st, are part of a £50 million investment plan that has been designed to improve passengers' experience of the airport.
They include a sixth baggage reclaim belt, a biomass boiler that makes the extension carbon neutral and nearly 6,000 square metres of additional space for arriving passengers.
Future improvements to be unveiled by December this year will include new shops, more comfortable waiting areas and new transport facilities.
Airport strategy director Nick Barton said: "At peak times we can expect over 3,300 arriving passengers an hour through the terminal, so this new extension is all about us continuing to provide the best possible facilities for passengers.
"This means meeting the travel demands of today as well as planning ahead for passenger growth in the future which is forecast to see numbers rise to 35 million a year by 2015."
Stansted hosts flights provided by easyJet, Ryanair and others to a number of destinations that are popular for villa holidays, including Valencia, Pisa, Larnaca and Palma.
