New owners of Stansted Airport M.A.G have officially launched an £80 million project to transform its terminal building. The building will be enhanced by making better use of existing space and providing passengers with new security facilities and an enlarged departure lounge. M.A.G is investing £40 million in the project, with a further £40 million coming from commercial partners.
M.A.G used research by psychologists to understand the points when passengers feel confused, stressed and relaxed during their time at the airport. The new building will feature a bigger and relocated security area, double the amount of seating, better restaurants and more shopping choice alongside improved way-finding and additional flight information screens. The new design will also provide flexibility to accommodate future airline requirements as Stansted grows it existing customer base.
