IN Wartime 1942 was built by the American Air Force in the Green Fields in Esix, near a village called Stanstid Mountficte. Stony Place in the Anglo means Saxon, and it may not have been perfect for taking off and landing, but the runway fell anyway and the airport started serving it in the allied war effort.
Stansted, a maintenance and supply warehouse, is used as a maintenance warehouse and repair and adjust the Martin B-26 Marauder Twin-Legins. In D-Day in 1944, the bombers were from Stansted at the forefront of 600 aircraft carrying out the beaches of occupied France.
In 1966, the British Airports Authority, which has just appeared on Stanstid, and soon became clear that he would become a major player in British aviation. The station needed an extension after only four years, and after eight years the government proposed a great expansion by the government. This would enable Stanste to deal with the first 8 million and 15 million passengers annually in two phases; Since then, there has been a steady increase in the ability of the Stanste. In 2002, planning permission to expand the airport was granted to serve 25 million passengers annually – by 2007, 2.5 million people have passed through Stantide doors in August alone. Three years later, the airport was granted permission to deal with the code f, including Airbus Airbus A-380 and Boeing 747-8.
Sky was literally the maximum, and in October 2024 a 1.1 billion pounds upgrade was announced over a five -year period, which was announced by the Group of Airports in Manchester. This will include an extension of 600 million pounds to the passenger station, including additional sitting areas, more stores, restaurants and bars. The expansion of the party instead of building another means that the stangide will remain a single airport, whose owners believe is a point in favor of the simplicity of travel.
The security hall is also scheduled to be expanded, with additional check offices and Carousels to restore the new luggage, and the airport taxi corridor will be upgraded. Taking into account the sustainability, a new 14.3 -megawatt solar farm will be built to manage the increasing electricity requirements in the Stanste. The airport already has a biomass kettle and carries a carbon standard, and has been granted from a 3+ carbon neutral level by the International Airports Council.
Once the development is completed, it is expected that the total annual passengers are 43 million passengers annually, which means that Stanstid will overcome Gatwick at 41 million people and become the second most airports in the UK after Heathrow. For those who know this is not surprising, as Stanstad destroyed his record of passenger numbers every month during the year 2024. Friday 23road August is more than 103,000 passengers who passed through Stanst, a record number for this month, which is believed to be strengthened by hordes of fans who were flying home from Taylor Swift concerts, which occurred at Wembley Stadium near that week.
The government believes that the new expansion will double the annual economic contribution of the airport in the United Kingdom to two billion pounds. As a reward, it is hoped that about 5,000 new jobs will be created as a result of investment.
In March 2024, British Airways returned to Stanst for the first time since the street epidemic, traveling to Florence, Ibiza and New. However, the airport is not limited to this alone as it serves 200 alternative destinations for travelers to choose from. Other new companies joined the Stanstid squad in 2024, including SUN Express and Royal Jordanian Airlines.
From the Greenfield runway in 1942 to a decisive part of the UK’s aviation industry, Stanst has come a long run for 82 years. Air fans will be monitored with interest as the latest developments are formed.
