London Stansted Airport in the Community
London Stansted is a growing business committed to sharing its success and making a lasting difference to our local communities. We're immensely proud of our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, which recognises the importance of responsible growth and our desire to be a trusted neighbour.
As the major air transport hub in the region, we understand the importance of achieving our growth in a sustainable way. We also recognise that we need to deliver benefits locally, whilst being mindful of our effects on the community and environment.
As we grow, we will continue advancing the positive opportunities afforded by the development of the airport, working in partnership with local people to support the things that really matter to them.

We have included detailed information for residents regarding the Stansted Solar Farm, including how this project will support the sustainable development of Stansted airport. This includes our capacity to expand and meet future energy needs.
As part of the Government’s Airspace Modernisation Programme, London Stansted Airport has begun the process of re-designing the network of corridors and flightpaths that aircraft use when travelling to and from the airport
If you live or work near an airport, there will almost certainly be times when you hear aircraft.
Here at London Stansted Airport, we are committed to being a good neighbour and we continually work with airlines, National Air Traffic Services (NATS), local Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Government agencies to minimise the noise impact on the local community as much as possible.
The noise section of our website is designed to help give a better understanding of the various aspects of aircraft noise by giving clear and factual information.
This section of the website provides valuable information about the sources and causes of noise.
We have a long-standing commitment to inspire the next generation of aviation professionals. From our education centre, the Aerozone to the brand-new purpose-built on-site college, Stansted Airport College.
We are the largest single-site employer in the East of England, providing over 12,000 jobs across 200 companies. Through our outreach and employment events, we seek to drive recruitment in parts of the community that are currently under-represented at airports, because of factors including cultural difference, lack of awareness, or under-developed transport links.
London Stansted Airport provides local businesses of varying sizes the opportunity to find out about the expansive range of opportunities through a range of procurement events, while the airport's position as a core pillar of economic growth in the South East means there are a range of options available to align your company with us.
We encourage all colleagues to demonstrate our values by contributing to local communities. Offering their skills on a voluntary basis not only helps to strengthen ties with the areas in which we live and work, but also has been linked to employee well-being and engagement.
