THE BOSS spearheading the ambitious billion-pound expansion of Stansted Airport has spoken to the Gazette about the progress of the project. Marlon Osborne, 42, of Ockendon, is the business change and readiness director at the airport and is overseeing the five-year project to grow, upgrade and extend the airport. Imagery from the £1.1billion plans were announced in October last year and the centrepiece of the project includes expanding Stansted’s airport terminal to create a bright spacious environment. "We’ve also been able to start relocating equipment to prepare the ground for the new skylinks, which will eventually replace the current track transit system. He explained the track transit system that transfer passengers from the terminal to gates one to 39, will be removed so the terminal extension can take its place.
