Stansted takes the big jets

STANSTED’S ambition to raise its global profile has received a major boost after gaining approval for both the Airbus A380 and the new Boeing 747-8 to operate from the airport.  The official CAA go-ahead, which follows months of work to demonstrate the airport's operational readiness to handle these aircraft, now opens the door for new airline growth for both passenger and cargo operations.  Stansted has up to ten aircraft parking stands that could accommodate both aircraft. www.stanstedairport.com
