Airport terminal expansion

London’s Stansted Airport welcomed a record 2.5 million passengers through its doors during April, with Dublin once again being the top choice short haul destination from the airport.

The most popular destinations in April were Dublin, Istanbul and Edinburgh with the top countries visited once again Spain, Italy and Germany.

Ciaran Brannigan, London Stansted’s Commercial Director, said: “April was another very good month at London Stansted, where we delivered a very strong operational performance for a record-breaking number of passengers, who enjoyed a smooth and reliable experience as they passed through the airport, particularly over the busy Easter holiday period.

“The great choice, value and convenience we can offer our passengers continues to drive strong growth and demand, and with a number of new routes having launched last month, and more taking off in the coming weeks, we expect to welcome even more people as we head into summer.”
