To enable us to do this, we will need planning permission to grow beyond the current passenger cap that limits the airport to serving 35 million passengers per annum. Importantly for our communities, this further growth to 43 mppa can be achieved without having to increase the existing caps on the number of flights or the size of the airport’s noise ‘footprint’. We have already consulted widely, listening carefully to local residents to help shape these plans and as a responsible business we will be backing this up with a number of commitments. Our long-term plan for Stansted will create more choice and competition, better terminal facilities and new opportunities while providing clarity for the local community and the confidence our airlines need to continue growing. Stansted is a UK success story and in order for it to continue playing its crucial economic role, it is essential that the airport is allowed to reach its full potential.
