Stansted Airport is set to be the fastest growing London airport in 2018, with 10.8 million seats available for the summer.

An extra 1.2 million seats will be available compared with last summer, making the airport the fastest growing in the capital.

Five new airlines will be welcomed to the airport, with new destinations including Boston, New York, Washington DC and Dubai.

Ken O'Toole, CEO of Stansted Airport, said: "Through our ambitious route development and investment plans, and with more and more airlines recognising the great opportunity Stansted offers, the airport will make an even greater contribution to improving the UK’s connectivity with the rest of the world.”
