15.03.11
Stansted Airport is celebrating 20 years since the launch of its ‘iconic’ terminal building today. Designed by the then Sir Norman Foster (now Lord Foster), since it was officially opened by Her Majesty the Queen more than 250 million passengers have passed through the terminal and more than 2.5 million flights have left the airport.
Films including Tomorrow Never Dies, Bridget Jones’ Diary and Sliding Doors, have shot scenes at the airport and a congregation of 1500 attended for a recording of Songs of Praise. Nick Barton, the airport’s managing director, said: ‘Stansted’s iconic terminal has helped create a new era of innovative airport design and style that still provides inspiration for terminal developments all over the world.’
