Stansted Airport — terminals and inbound tempo
Stansted is the UK's primary low-cost-carrier airport, dominated by Ryanair operations with peak inbound waves at 06:00-09:00 and again 21:00-23:30 — the late-evening peak is unusual among UK airports and shapes Stansted dispatch tempo. A single terminal serves all flights, with the pre-booked PHV pickup zone at the Mid-Stay forecourt approximately three minutes from the arrivals hall.
