New routes being added from Stansted include:

  • British Airways: Following its return to the airport last year with flights to Nice, Ibiza, and Florence, BA is launching a new service to Bergerac, France, in June.
  • Transavia: A brand-new airline for London Stansted, Transavia will debut with a route to Rotterdam, Netherlands, in April.
  • SunExpress: Building on its success with new services last summer, Turkish carrier SunExpress will introduce a route to Kayseri, Turkey, in July, which further strengthens Stansted’s position as the UK’s top airport for flights to Turkey.
  • Jet2: Stansted’s second-largest carrier, Jet2, will launch flights to Pula, Croatia, and Bergen, Norway, in May. The airline will also offer holiday packages to the scenic Greek islands of Poros, Aegina, and Leros, all accessible via Athens.
  • Ryanair: Stansted’s largest airline, with over 150 destinations, is resuming flights to Lübeck, Germany, starting in summer 2025. Ryanair will also launch new routes to Münster, Germany, starting in April and Clermont-Ferrand, France, starting in March.

Simon Gorrighan, London Stansted’s Aviation Director, said: "We’re really excited about these new routes—they’re all about giving our passengers even more choice for their travels. Whether it’s unwinding in the vineyards of Bergerac, soaking up the buzz of Rotterdam’s cultural scene, or exploring the stunning landscapes of Cappadocia, there’s truly something for everyone.
