STANSTED MARKS 30TH BIRTHDAY OF TERMINAL BUILDING
LONDON STANSTED has celebrated the 30th anniversary of its Norman Foster-designed terminal building.
Te airport said that nearly 460 million
passengers had passed through the building since it was opened by the Queen on March 15, 1991. Te terminal saw its first flights later that week, with an Air UK service departing for Glasgow and an Air France flight landing from Paris. Stansted said that it had grown from fewer
than 50 routes and one million passengers in 1991 to almost 200 destinations and 28 million passengers. However, the pandemic has seen this figure drop back to 1994 levels. Te terminal has been extended twice since
opening and in 2013 Stansted was acquired by MAG (Manchester Airports Group).
