Consultation
An effective and inclusive consultation process was conducted using a range of methods—including surveys, focus groups, and workshops—to gather meaningful insights. We engaged a diverse array of stakeholders, from local students to Parish Councillors, to ensure the consultation results were as representative and accessible as possible.
In February and March 2025, we undertook extensive consultation with the public. We received 2852 individual responses.
68% of respondents backing the plan to increase the passenger cap to 51m by 2040.
2 out of 3 back the plans to increase the passenger cap to 51m by 2040
92% agree that more locals should benefit from job opportunities at Stansted
62% support using the existing runway for growth
60% agree that public transport should be used for half of all journeys.
I support local growth, job opportunities and positive change. MAG and future owners of the Airport MUST support the local economy and community.
Karen – Uttlesford
Public transport links into STN are insufficient, parking/drop off is inadequate and overpriced. I support any measures to redress this.
Tim - Chelmsford
More flights to more destinations. Stansted airports needs to be cleaned up and have better facilities.
Samia - Elsenham
Completely support the plan. Please focus on growth and improving facilities, flights and opportunities in the local area.
Timothy - Uttlesford
The airport academy should also be given first choice for any work opportunities and vacancies.
