LONDON Stansted airport, which attracted 20 million passengers in 2014, has said that it will pursue plans to double volumes without the need for a new runway as wrangling over a new landing strip at the capital's Heathrow hub drags on.
Seeking to expand beyond discount travel, Stansted will lobby for the removal of a cap that limits volumes to 35 million travellers a year, allowing the single runway to reach its full 45-million capacity, Charlie Cornish, chief executive officer at owner Manchester Airports Group, said on Friday in an interview.
