Stansted's single long runway is home to a very large Ryanair operation. It's also the UK's designated airport for handling aircraft involved in security incidents, which is why unusual arrivals there sometimes make the news.
Tracking a flight into STN
Type the flight number from the ticket into Wingwait's search. You'll see the aircraft, its route arc, a progress bar and an estimated time to go. Set a landing alert to be pinged 30 minutes out and again at touchdown, and share the live link with anyone else who's waiting.
To see every flight between two airports, search a route like STN-AMS or STN to DUB.
Times are estimates from live position and speed. They don't account for holding, taxiing or gate delays. Check with the airline or airport for official arrival times.
Questions
Can I see live arrivals at London Stansted on Wingwait?
Yes. The map shows aircraft on approach to STN in real time. Wingwait doesn't show a scheduled arrivals board yet, so for official times check the airport's own website.
Why is a flight to STN circling?
Aircraft often hold in a racetrack pattern when arrivals are busy or the weather slows things down. The solid trail shows the loops it has actually flown.
