These developments set out the basis for Stansted to become a third major player in the London environs, and that significant progress and expansion is still going on today.īoundless Simulation have actually only been around releasing scenery for the X-Plane Simulator for only a very short time (about 18 months), but the output in that time has been simply prolific. It was the opening of the current terminal building which was designed by architect Norman Foster and built between 19, and more importantly as part of the development, a railway branch was built into the airport, and like the new terminal, Stansted Airport railway station opened in 1991. Stansted was placed under BAA control in 1966, but even in the early days the airport was only used by holiday charter operators wishing to escape the higher costs associated with operating from Heathrow and Gatwick. Stansted has come from an airfield opened in 1943 and was used during the Second World War as RAF Stansted Mountfitchet, to one of the fastest growing airports in the London area. But Stansted has one major advantage than any other of the London Airports, and that it has space, around it, and lots of room to grow. Again it is another huge LCC hub with Jet2 and Ryanair dominating, but also a few of the majors are also having a look in with British Airways, Emirates and even SAS all flying into here. Stansted however has always been the interesting airport. Both are major LCC (Low Cost Carrier) hubs, LTN for Easyjet, TUI and WizzAir (UK) which all have a big presence. In the north it is Luton and Stansted that are the closest. except LCY, but then London City is really only a commuter airport with serious runway restrictions on the type of aircraft that can get in there and then get out of it again. The rest though are really satellite or even regional hubs. Breaking them down, then Heathrow is the biggest and the capitol's main major hub, Gatwick services the south and is another major gateway. Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), City (LCY), Luton (LTN), Southend (SEN) and finally Stansted (STN).

There are six airports that service the London area in the United Kingdom. Scenery Review : EGSS Stansted by Boundless Simulations
