About Stansted Airport

Stansted Airport (STN) sits around 65km northeast of central London in Essex, and is one of the UK's busiest bases for low-cost carriers. The airport has a single main terminal with a compact, easy-to-navigate layout, so arrivals and departures move quickly even at peak times.
