Stansted Airport has appointed construction firm Farrans to build the ‘skylink’ walkways, a key part of its wider terminal transformation programme. The covered walkways will directly connect the main terminal with satellite buildings housing departure and arrival gates.

The centrepiece of the airport’s transformation plan is a three-bay terminal extension, adding 16,500 square metres of space and new shops, bars, and restaurants.
