VET5A - Airport #4 - Visit London's Stansted Airport (EGSS)

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

The fourth busiest airport in the UK is London's Stansted Airport which is actually located a short stone's throw across the border in the county of Essex!

London’s third major airport is Stansted and it tends to get similar passenger numbers each year to Manchester, despite only having one runway and one terminal. It was privatised in 2013 and has since been owned by the Manchester Airport Holdings Group which also controls East Midlands Airport, the UK’s 14th busiest.

Stansted is linked to London’s Liverpool Street Station by the Stansted Express rail service and it is a popular airport for anyone travelling within Europe, particularly for those based in northern parts of London or the relatively sparsely populated East of England.

In the 21st Century, Stansted has experienced something of a renaissance thanks to the boom in low-cost travel. Ryanair, the world’s biggest low-cost airline, runs more flights out of Stansted than any other airport with the airline operating flights to more than 100 destinations from the Essex airport.
