Promise of new investment at Stansted airport
Millions of pounds in investment and more choice for passengers were two of the promises made today by the new owners of Stansted airport.
M.A.G, which is owned by local councils in the North West, has spent £1.5 billion to acquire Stansted from the owners of Heathrow.
MAG already run three other airports including Manchester making them the country's biggest UK-owned operator. Some have welcomed the change of ownership but others aren't so happy.
