General
|

To the northeast of London you can find Stansted Airport. It is officially the third airport of London and handles a variety of scheduled, charter and executive traffic. Among the scheduled airlines are Ryan Air and KLM uk. A lot of Ryan Air planes are using the airport during the day. Stansted also handles a lot of cargo traffic, like Nippon Cargo, Korean Air, UPS and FedEx, most of it during the evening and night.

Layout
|
Terminal
|
|
The main terminal is at the eastern side of the runway and includes the main cargo ramp. At the left side of the terminal a small hill gives you a view over part of the concourses and the cargo apron. You can not see much of the aircraft parked at the other side.

Around The Airport
|
The north side
|
|
On the opposite side is the old terminal, which is now a maintenance area, where you also can find the bizjet traffic. Without a car it is nearly impossible to go there, as there is no public transport in that area. By car you can drive over the north side and take a look at the executive aprons.
|
Runway 05
|
|
At the threshold of runway 05 it is possible to take good landing shots, unfortunately it is not possible (yet) to park there.
|
Runway 05/23
|
|
Along this runway is a nice spot where you can park your car next to the road. From this place you have a good view of all the movements as you're opposite the terminal.
