London Stansted Airport Poised to Expand

London Stansted Airport is currently the third-busiest airport within the United Kingdom. It only has one runway at present, but future plans include development of an additional full-length runway within the next 50 years. This runway will be the second located in the South East (the other to be built within the premises of Heathrow Airport.) According to the Government's White Paper concerning such plans, London Stansted Airport should optimize use of its only runway in the interim.
