Stansted airport has released computer-generated images of what its forthcoming new arrivals terminal will look like when it opens in 2020.
The images are the latest concepts by architect Pascall+Watson, which was selected as the designer of the new £130 million terminal in March this year.
Stansted currently has rights to handle 35 million passengers per year and saw 27 million in the last year. It has asked for permission to increase capacity to 43 million annual passengers and says it hopes to do so without additional flights or noise impact beyond current permissions.
The airport is in the first phase of a transformation project, with a new check-in zone, 350-seat restaurant and short-stay car parks opening over the summer.
Paul Willis, transformation director at Stansted, commented: “The arrivals terminal is the centrepiece of our £600 million transformation programme and these latest images really whet the appetite of what the new and improved London Stansted airport will look like when the facility opens in 2020.
“Our five-year, multi-million-pound project will transform the experience for millions of passengers and help unlock the airport’s spare runway capacity, providing passengers with a wider choice of airlines and destinations.”
