IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR AIRPORT USERS
Following Saturday's terrorist incident at Glasgow Airport, additional security
measures are in place at all BAA airports. Dropping off and picking up in front
of the airport is severely restricted and passengers are warned that there may
be significant delays in reaching the terminal building by car. BAA strongly
recommends that you use the long stay car parks or travel to the airport by
public transport.
In addition, hand baggage restrictions implemented last year remain in place.
Just to remind you, passengers are only allowed to carry ONE item of hand
baggage. If you need to travel with liquids, they must be in individual
containers not greater than 100ml capacity. They must be placed in one
transparent re-sealable bag, no larger than 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8"), and fit
comfortably inside the bag so it can be fastened closed.
We hope this information has been of use to you but please keep checking the

BAA Stansted today unveils its new ‘WebTrak’
system that puts online the flight tracks of aircraft arriving and departing
from the airport, and displays their height and location.
‘WebTrak’ forms an integral element of a new noise website,
www.stanstedairport.com/noise, launched today as part of a £1.8 million
investment by BAA to upgrade its noise and track keeping systems. The website –
which has also been set up at BAA’s other two London airports, Heathrow and
Gatwick – is designed to help people who want to know more about aircraft noise
and track keeping issues in their local communities.
The site includes several new features including the ability to make a noise
enquiry or complaint online for the first time, and users will be provided with
information about aircraft noise in their local communities.
Vicki Hughes, Stansted’s noise communications manager, said: “The launch of this
new noise website is another positive development in the open way in which we
work with local communities to share as much information as possible about
Stansted’s operations.
“This significant investment demonstrates how fully committed we are to
providing the best possible service to members of the public about noise and
aircraft track keeping.
“In coming weeks we will further enhance the ‘WebTrak’ service and extend the
area covered by the system to include more towns and villages to the east of
Stansted. These improvements will ensure even more communities have access to
the best possible information and the full range of services we’ve launched
today.” |

All transatlantic services are operated with MAXjet’s Boeing 767 aircraft
configured with deep-recline leather seats and 60-inch seat pitch.
“Our high load factors are pushing us not only to expand the airline, but also
to expand frequencies from existing destinations as well,” said MAXjet CEO Bill
Stockbridge. “Our business model is continuing to win over new customers every
day.” |
“MAXjet invented the Affordable Business Class
concept, and our combination of fast check-in and security clearance, expansive
departure lounges, spacious cabins and affordable fares creates an unbeatable
value proposition for both business and leisure passengers,” continued

connect London with key cities across the United States, and Los Angeles is a
natural match for our high-comfort, high-value service.”

CANADA AND NORTHERN CYPRUS
JOIN STANSTED’S LOW COST
CONNECTIONS
A new low-cost, long-haul connection starts from Stansted this week as
Flyglobespan launch daily flights linking Stansted and Canada’s biggest city
– Toronto. SunExpress is also expanding their UK network with a new direct
service to Izmir (Turkey), with onward connections to the newly emerging
tourist market of Ercan in Northern Cyprus.
“Expansion of long-haul is firmly on our agenda so we’re delighted to see
Flyglobespan start long-haul daily flights linking Stansted to Toronto’s
Hamilton airport in Canada,” said Nick Barton, BAA Stansted business
development and planning director.
“With one-way economy fares starting at just £99 and business class from
£204 this is set to be a really popular affordable service for business and
leisure passengers alike.
“We’ve already seen great success with the development of Stansted’s
American connections to New York, Las Vegas and Washington; and future links
to Asia, Dubai and India are firmly in our sights. We’re in on-going
discussions with a number of airlines keen to tap into the long-haul
opportunities here at Stansted, the growth of which I’m sure will build on
the great success we’ve achieved in developing our European network.
“Northern Cyprus is one of Europe’s newly emerging tourist markets – and
with current restrictions meaning all flights must connect via mainland
Turkey - its great news that Ercan now has a low-cost link from the UK with
SunExpress services from Stansted.
“SunExpress has enjoyed great success on its route to Antalya from Stansted
since it began earlier this year, and advance bookings show that the Izmir /
Ercan links are set to be just as popular.”
