Overview
- A power surge on Sunday, October 25 affected the airport and local area and temporarily took multiple Stansted systems offline.
- Security checkpoints, immigration processing and baggage handling are running below full capacity, producing long queues and reports of delayed or lost luggage.
- Greater Anglia canceled dozens of Stansted Express trains after fallen trees blocked the rail line to London, adding a rail layer to the disruption.
- Earlier in the weekend a fault on the airport’s internal transit train left some travellers without water and required shuttle buses while engineers worked on a fix.
- Stansted says teams are working to fully restore services and support passengers, and travellers are advised to speak to staff if their flight is boarding because baggage backlogs may cause further delays.
