Stansted unveils multi-million pound departure lounge makeover
Passengers flying from London Stansted this summer will get to enjoy a range of new bars, restaurants and retail outlets thanks to a major refurbishment of the departure lounge.
More than £12 million is being invested by the airport and retail partners to improve facilities as it prepares for an expected increase in passengers this summer.
Ben Green, Retail Director at airport operator MAG, said:” We want everyone using London Stansted to have the best possible experience as we welcome back more and more passengers after the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.”
“Each of the new venues will offer something unique and will complement the existing food and beverage eateries we currently have.”
Among the upgrades will be a range of new outlets including Comptoir Libanais, Terracotta Italian Kitchen, The Perch, Sunnyside Café, Caffe Nero and Bottega prosecco bar.
World Duty Free, in the centre of the lounge, will double in size.
A new Superdry and two WHSmith stores have already opened as part of the makeover.
As the refurbishment continues over the coming months, details of further new outlets will be announced.
A major recruitment drive is also underway as the airport continues its recovery.
Most of the vacancies are for security officers, but there are also opportunities available within retail, customer service and hospitality.
