Stansted Airport drive-in cinema 'will not distract pilots'

Airport bosses have stressed that pilots will not be distracted by a large LED screen at a temporary drive-in cinema at its site in Essex.

London Stansted Airport is to host film screenings for charity in its JetParks Car Park for a week in December.

They include Christmas Classics Elf and Home Alone , as well as Dirty Dancing , Grease and Top Gun : Maverick.

" The screen will be nowhere near The Runway and certainly not on The Flight path, " a spokesman said.

He confirmed and was " compliant with regulations".

Alex Reed , business operations manager at London Stansted, also offered reassurance for those concerned about noise from planes impacting The Experience .

" If you are watching Top Gun you could see it as surround sound, I guess. It might help the ambiance of The Film , " he told BBC Essex.

" Where the Car Park is, it is quite set back from The Runway and when you arrive you are going to get a personal speaker.

" [It will] go in your car so all The Sound will be within your car, So There shouldn't be too much noise from planes. It shouldn't affect The Experience too much. "

Two films per day will be shown during The Event , which will be held while the JetParks Car Park is closed for winter.

All proceeds would go to charities Medcare, Magic Breakfast and The Children 's Society, The Airport said.

" We've had the idea for a while but it takes quite a lot of organisation and planning, so this is the First Time we have been able to pull it off, " Mr Reed said.

" We Are always trying to think of new and creative ways of raising as much money as we can for charity and this is how the idea was born. "
