EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the futuristic essence of Stansted Airport's new terminal building in the 1990s. Illuminated by night, the platform between the rails of the passenger transport shuttle stands as a symbol of progress and innovation. Laing Management Contracting played a vital role in this development, serving as consultant contractors for the project since October 1985. The ambitious expansion plan encompassed various elements such as new road access from M11, an advanced rail link connecting London and other regions, extensive car parking facilities, modern taxiways and aprons, all leading to the creation of a cutting-edge terminal building. Designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, this architectural marvel was equipped with an automated passenger transit system. Work on site commenced in April 1986 with meticulous attention to detail and precision. Finally, after years of dedicated efforts, Stansted Airport unveiled its remarkable new terminal in March 1991. With a capacity to accommodate up to 8 million passengers annually, it marked a significant milestone for air transport in Essex. As we gaze upon this image today from Historic England Archive collection, we are reminded not only of how far aviation has come but also appreciate the visionaries who made it possible. This photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for an era gone by and admiration for human ingenuity that continues to shape our world today.
