"Over the next 20 years, London Stansted could overtake Gatwick to become the UK's second busiest airport. To do that, it has started working on an enormous £1.1bn expansion and applied for permission to boost its annual visitor numbers from 30 million up to 51 million. It'll be a while before travellers will be able to take advantage of those mega upgrades, but in the meantime, Stansted airport has revealed a list of the brand new flights that'll take off from its runways in 2026."
"The big news is that Turkish Airlines will be running flights from Stansted for the very first time. One of the world's largest carriers, it'll debut on March 18 and run flights to Istanbul up to 15 times a week. That'll open up a whole host on onward connections to more than 350 destinations further afield. Before that though, Stansted will start offering even more flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle, courtesy of easyJet."
London Stansted has applied to increase annual passenger capacity from 30 million to 51 million as part of a £1.1bn expansion aimed at potentially overtaking Gatwick as the UK's second busiest airport over the next 20 years. New 2026 routes include Turkish Airlines launching up to 15 weekly flights to Istanbul from March 18, additional easyJet services to Paris Charles de Gaulle from March 5, a twice-weekly Ryanair route to southern Sweden, a Jet2 service to Samos and BA CityFlyer weekend flights to Olbia. The airport positions these additions as delivering greater choice, value and connectivity for leisure and business travellers.
