In a statement, Stansted airport said 'kiss and fly' journeys are the least environmentally friendly, requiring 4 car journeys per flight. It said almost half their passengers use public transport but they're trying to do even better, adding that shuttle buses from the mid stay car park will remain free-to-use.
