Stansted welcomes new European flights
This week marks the launch of new flights to two European destinations from Stansted Airport.
Holidaymakers will be able to take advantage of twice-daily services to Athens from Stansted with Aegean Airlines, as well as flights to Vilnius in Lithuania with Lithuanian Airlines.
Nick Barton, strategy and solutions director at Stansted, said that the airport now provides more direct scheduled flights to destinations in Europe than any other British hub.
"We're delighted to be extending those links further with the arrival this week of Athens and Vilnius onto our comprehensive route network," he remarked.
Stansted currently serves more than 33 scheduled and charter carriers carrying a total of 23.5 million passengers every year to and from more than 160 destinations.
The airport is hoping to build a second runway in the near future, which would help it to build capacity of about 35 million flyers a year.
