Flibco, the airport transfer specialist with a network of services in major cities across Europe, is launching its first UK coach service with a bus from London to Stansted airport.
Launched on 1 April, the new service will operate 96 times a day, 24/7, with departures each way every 30 minutes – offering passengers a reliable, convenient and cost-effective way to travel between London and one of the UK’s busiest airports.
The route has been designed to optimise travel time and reliability to and from the airport, while avoiding congestion.
The service will operate from the airport’s bus terminal, located just outside Arrivals, and will stop at two key locations in London:
- Stratford Station (Westfield) – 50 minutes from the airport, with connections to the Elizabeth, Central, and Jubilee lines, plus DLR and rail links
- Liverpool Street Station – approximately 90 minutes from the airport, and London’s busiest station, providing direct access to central London
Flibco has applied its airport transport expertise and AI-powered scheduling to ensure timetables are aligned with flight departures and arrivals.
The service will scale up during peak hours, ensuring passengers always have a reliable travel option when they need it most.
To maximise flexibility, standard tickets will be valid all day until 4 AM the following morning, allowing passengers to board any available service.
Fully flexible tickets can be cancelled or refunded up to a few minutes before departure.
Flibco coaches are equipped with free WiFi, USB charging ports and air conditioning, to ensure a comfortable journey.
The fleet meets Euro 6 emissions standards, the most efficient CO₂ standard for diesel vehicles, contributing to a more sustainable airport transport network.
Flibco has partnered with trusted UK coach operating service provider The Coach Travel Group, ensuring local expertise coupled with Flibco’s high-quality standards to provide a reliable, cost-effective experience.
As part of its expansion, Flibco is planning to invest up to £45million into the UK over the next five years, creating 80 jobs as the service grows.
Paul Garnett, car park and ancillaries director at London Stansted, said: “We are delighted to welcome Flibco to London Stansted, offering passengers even more choice, great service, and excellent value when traveling to and from London.
“With their new express services every 30 minutes to Stratford and Liverpool Street, Flibco will play an important role in enhancing connectivity while supporting our ambition to increase public transport use among passengers.
“London Stansted has the highest proportion of public transport users of any major UK airport, and by expanding our coach network with high-quality operators like Flibco, we’re ensuring that number continues to grow.”
Flibco CEO Tobias Stüber said: “Launching our first UK service at London Stansted is a major milestone for Flibco, and we’re committed to making airport transfers easier, more affordable, and more reliable.
“We know that getting to and from the airport can be stressful, with long waits, high prices, and unpredictable schedules. That’s what we’re here to change.
“Importantly, we’re also investing in the region, partnering with local operators and creating new jobs as we grow.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming passengers on board and making their journeys to and from the airport as smooth as possible.”
