Phase one of the project has seen the security area relocated and double in size with an additional four security lanes, taking the total to 22.
The new area also features 20 automatic self-serve entrance gates, dedicated lanes for families and passengers with reduced mobility and a fast track lane for premium travellers.
Mr Goodwill said:“It was fantastic to see for myself the transformation of the terminal at Stansted and to hear about how passengers will benefit from measures to keep queues down, including more security lanes and new facilities for families with buggies and wheelchair users. By making this investment, Stansted is showing that it is stepping up to the challenges of keeping the UK well connected.”
Andrew Harrison said:“This is a great day for Stansted and the millions of passengers who use the airport each year, and we’re delighted the Minister was able to join us today to officially open the new and improved security area.
“In just 12 months since taking ownership we have managed to achieve this major milestone, a key element of our ambition to transform Stansted.
I’ve been immensely impressed by the dedication and commitment of our people, the level of support from on-airport partners and above all, the enthusiasm for change at Stansted.
“Our focus is to provide great customer service, value and facilities and put Stansted in the strongest position to compete effectively for new routes airlines and passengers.
The transformation of our terminal is a critical element in achieving this aim and central to our future growth plans for the airport.”
