Stansted Address & Enquiries

  London Stansted Airport (IATA: STN, ICAO: EGSS) is a passenger airport located at Stansted Mountfitchet in the local government district of Uttlesford in Essex, 48 km (30 mi) north-east of Central London.

Stansted is a hub for a number of major European low-cost carriers. It is the third-busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the third-largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow and Gatwick; it is one of London's five international airports, along with Luton and London City.

The airport is owned and operated by BAA, which also owns and operates five other UK airports, and is itself owned by ADI Limited, an international consortium, which includes Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and GIC Special Investments, that is led by the Spanish Ferrovial Group.

The airport owes much of its history to World War Two, as the airfield began life as an American bomber air base. In fact, the original concrete runway was for a long period the longest runway in the country.

Stansted is mainly a low-cost airport with a majority of its flights operated by EasyJet and Ryanair although Stansted still offers many charter and long-haul flights. It is the third largest airport in Britain by passenger numbers and is also Britain's third largest freight airport. Ryanair operates more flights from Stansted than any other airport. They offer 107 destinations both domestic and international throughout Europe and Northern Africa.
