About London Stansted

London Stansted is the UK's fourth busiest airport and a primary base for Ryanair and easyJet. Its single runway handles high traffic density, particularly during morning departure banks when dozens of low-cost flights depart within short windows. Ground stop cascade effects from delays at other London area airports frequently impact Stansted given the shared London Terminal Control Area airspace it shares with Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton.
