LONDON Stansted has completed a major upgrade to its main airfield security checkpoint.
The new facility forms part of London Stansted’s wider transformation programme and supports the airport’s plans for growth to handle up to 43 million passengers a year.
Nick Millar, operations director at London Stansted, said: "This new checkpoint is an important investment that supports the safe and secure operation of the airport every day.
"While passengers may never see it, facilities like this play a vital role in ensuring authorised staff and vehicles can access the airfield quickly and efficiently.
"It’s another example of the improvements taking place across the airport as part of our wider transformation programme, not only meeting the latest security requirements, but also supporting future growth to 43 million passengers a year and beyond."

Located between the public and restricted airfield areas, the upgraded checkpoint is used daily by airport workers, contractors and operational teams.
It features modern security systems, a more efficient layout and better working conditions designed to streamline the clearance process for staff, vehicles and deliveries.
The project follows a series of recent developments at the airport, including a new domestic arrivals building, refurbished gate areas in Satellite Two, major baggage system improvements and the construction of the airport’s on-site solar farm, which is on track to become operational this spring.
