London Stansted Airport is seeking to increase its annual passenger cap from 43 million to 51 million by 2040, unlocking a host of benefits for businesses across our region.

Your organisations voice can make a real difference in showing strong local backing for this vital proposal.

Why should your business support Stansted’s application?

• Stronger regional connectivity: Improved access to more destinations means easier movement for staff, clients, and suppliers, faster access to key markets, and a stronger platform for business expansion and inward investment.
• Terminal transformation: Ongoing upgrades will create more space, faster processing, and a better travel experience for both passengers and business travellers. Meaning we can comfortably accommodate an increase in passenger numbers.
• Skills, talent, and local workforce: Stansted Airport already supports over 12,000 jobs. The plan will create 4,500 more, expand Stansted Airport College, and boost training and upskilling opportunities - directly benefiting local employers.
• Infrastructure investment: Major improvements are planned for roads, bus services, and rail links, reducing congestion and improving access for your staff and customers around the airport site.
