    Overview

    London Stansted Airport (STN) is a passenger airport located at Stansted Mountfitchet in Essex, 30 miles (48 km) north-east of central London. Stansted is a hub for a number of major European low-cost carriers. It is the third-busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the third-largest airport serving the London area after Heathrow and Gatwick; it is one of London's five international airports. Stansted is mainly a low-cost airport with a majority of its flights operated by EasyJet and Ryanair although Stansted still offers many charter and long-haul flights.

    Terminals

    Stansted's terminal building has a very different layout to many other airports, especially within the UK. The terminal is an oblong glass building which is separated in to three areas: Check-in concourse, Arrivals and Departures. There are no gates in the main terminal, instead there are three separate oblong satellite buildings in which the gates are located, with a fourth satellite building under construction. Two satellite buildings are reached by transit trains taking passengers from the departure hall and to the arrivals hall in the terminal building. The third satellite building is not operated by the transit system, but is connected to the terminal building by a walkway.

    Public Transport

  • Stansted Airport railway station is below the terminal building, with rail services to Cambridge, Leicester and the Midlands every 60 minutes operated by CrossCountry.
  • Scheduled express bus or coach services run to and from Stratford (45 minutes), Victoria Coach Station (75 minutes), Liverpool Street Station (55 minutes) and Golders Green (70 minutes) (all in London), costing about half the train fare.
  • Stansted Airport Transit System connects two of the terminals via a 2 miles (3.2 km) free automated people mover service which runs on dual concrete track. The system uses a mix of Adtranz C-100 and Bombardier CX-100 vehicles to carry passengers to departure gates; unlike the similar Gatwick Airport transit, the Stansted transit is only accessible "airside".
