Security update

Additional security checks

In the interests of security, all departing passengers may be required to be screened using security (body) scanning equipment at Stansted Airport. 

The UK Government requires a “no scan, no fly” policy to be enforced, meaning that failure to comply if selected for a scan will result in the passenger not being allowed to travel. 

Further information on the use of security scanners can be found on the Department for Transport website at www.dft.gov.uk.
