Artemis Aerospace investigates the future plans for Stansted airport

Yahoo14-02-2025

WISTON, England, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The owners of London Stansted Airport recently announced a major investment package, including an extension to the terminal. Artemis Aerospace looks at the rise of Stansted and the new plans shaping its future …
In wartime 1942 a runway was built by the US Air Force on the green fields of Essex, near a village called Stansted Mountfitchett. Stansted means 'stony place' in Anglo-Saxon, possibly not ideal for take-off and landing, but the runway went down anyway and the airfield begun its service to the allied war effort.
Used for heavy bombers, Stansted was also a maintenance and supply depot undertaking the overhaul and modification of Martin B-26 Marauder twin-engine bombers. On D-Day in 1944, bombers from Stansted were at the forefront of 600 aircraft patrolling over the beaches of occupied France.
In 1966, the British Airports Authority, which had just come into being, took over Stansted, and it soon became apparent that it was going to become a major player in British aviation. The terminal needed an extension only four years later, and eight years after that a significant expansion was proposed by the government. This would enable Stansted to handle first 8 million then 15 million passengers per year in two phases; since then there has been a steady increase in Stansted's capacity. In 2002, planning permission was granted to expand the airport to serve 25 million passengers per year – by 2007, 2.5 million people passed through Stansted's gates in August alone. Three years later and the airport was granted permission to handle Code F aircraft, including the behemoth Airbus A-380 and Boeing 747-8.
The sky has literally been the limit, and in October 2024 a £1.1 billion upgrade, to take place over a five-year period, was announced by airport owners Manchester Airports Group. This will involve a £600 million extension to the passenger terminal, including extra seating areas and more shops, restaurants and bars. Extending the terminal rather than building another one means that Stansted will still be a single-terminal airport, which its owners believe is a point in its favour in terms of simplicity of travel.
The security hall is also due to be enlarged, with additional check-in desks and new baggage reclaim carousels, and the airfield taxiway is to be upgraded. With an eye to sustainability, a new 14.3-megawatt solar farm will be constructed on site to manage Stansted's increasing electricity requirements. The airport already has a biomass boiler and holds a Carbon Trust Standard, and was awarded Level 3+ carbon neutral status by the Airports Council International.
Once the development is completed, the annual passenger total is expected to be 43 million passengers per year, meaning Stansted would overtake Gatwick at 41 million and become the UK's second busiest airport after Heathrow. To those in the know this is unsurprising, as Stansted has broken its record for passenger numbers every month during 2024. On Friday 23rd August over 103,000 passengers passed through Stansted, a record for that month believed to have been boosted by legions of fans flying home from Taylor Swift's concerts, which had taken place at nearby Wembley Stadium earlier that week.
The government believes that the new expansion will double the airport's yearly economic contribution to the UK to £2 billion. As a bonus, it's hoped that around 5,000 new jobs will be created as a result of the investment.
In March 2024, British Airways returned to Stansted for the first time since the Covid pandemic, travelling routes to Florence, Ibiza and Nice. However, the airport isn't limited to these alone as its serves 200 alternative destinations for passengers to choose from. Further new carriers which joined the Stansted line-up in 2024 include the Turkish-German airline Sun Express and Royal Jordanian Airlines.
From a greenfield runway in 1942 to a crucial part of the UK aviation industry, Stansted has come a long way in just 82 years. Aviation enthusiasts will be watching with interest as the latest development takes shape.

Where the axe might fall during the UK's spending review

The U.K. Treasury is poised to set out day-to-day spending and investment plans for all government departments on Wednesday, with markets and voters watching where budget cuts could fall. In its 'Spending Review,' the Labour government will set out how public money will be allocated over the next three to four years, ranging from spending on public services like schools and police to welfare budgets and investments in energy, infrastructure, science and tech projects that can drive economic growth. The review covers resource spending — the government's day-to-day running and administration costs — as well as capital expenditure, which goes toward improving infrastructure and public services such as new roads, hospitals and military equipment. Now, U.K. watchers are waiting to see where the axe falls when it comes to individual government department budgets, and which ones get a windfall or are constrained. The government has already committed to higher spending on defense, transport and health, but cuts are expected elsewhere. Departments overseeing policing, affordable housing, the environment and local government reportedly faced funding squeezes, making for awkward negotiations in recent weeks between U.K. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves and various government ministers as they looked for bigger budgets from the Treasury. The prime minister's official spokesperson on Monday said that negotiations over the spending review were finally over. "The spending review is settled — we will be focused on investing in Britain's renewal so that all working people are better off," he said. "The first job of the government was to stabilize the British economy and the public finances, and now we move into a new chapter to deliver the promise and change." The spending review will reveal a lot about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's priorities and Reeves' spending choices, the independent Institute for Government think tank noted ahead of the announcement, flagging that disappointment was inevitable for some government departments. "The government will have no choice to but prioritise where the money goes at this spending review, meaning some departments will be left disappointed," it said in analysis last week. "Day-to-day spending is only set to increase by 1.2% per year in real terms, which implies a 1.3% cut on average for many areas after taking into account likely above-average settlements for health, childcare and defence." Investment spending will be much higher than in previous years but there will still not be enough public funding to meet the long list of department demands, the IfG warned, "especially as the government's ambitions to tackle NHS waiting lists, accelerate the decarbonisation of the grid, and support growth all require sufficient well-targeted public spending." The 2025 spending review is billed as a huge moment for the Labour government and a fine balancing act for Reeves. Governments often increase borrowing to fund public spending, but Reeves has vowed to get the U.K.'s public finances in order. She has committed to self-imposed "fiscal rules" that dictate that day-to-day spending must be met by tax revenues and that public debt is falling as a share of economic output by 2029-30. As such, Chancellor Reeves has left herself little room for maneuver unless she breaks her own restrictions, hikes taxes again or cuts spending further with economists "Everything about this [spending review] is political – does the chancellor want to lean into welfare cuts – probably not. We know that defence is being earmarked for more cash. We know that the chancellor will be sticking to her fiscal rules resolutely, although she could tweak them to accommodate more spending," Neil Wilson, U.K. Investor Strategist at Saxo Markets, noted Tuesday. "The easiest way to balance the books is tax hikes – it's no surprise that given some big spending cuts required we are also hearing concerns about potential changes to tax on investments in the autumn," he added. Some economists are skeptical that the government's spending and investment plans will drive the hoped-for growth, meaning that further tax rises will be needed to boost economic activity. "With weak business and consumer confidence compounded by global trade uncertainty, the U.K.'s economic fortunes seem unlikely to improve anytime soon," Andrew Hunter, senior economist at Moody's Analytics, said in a note ahead of the spending review. "As the government inches towards breaking its fiscal rules, further tax hikes at the next budget later this year look all-but inevitable."
