If the rumours are true and most people attending will be flying on commercial airlines I would assume these are from further afield and EGWU will handle most european leaders attending.They also have a spare runway they can use for parking but atmo its all speculation.2 C17,S are due Stansted tomorrow which is probably for POTUS as he is allowed different arrangements.

Northside security at STN is just inside the Business Park entrance today and is manned by the Police. It looks like they will be there 24/7 as there are tents, toilets, extra lights etc.

One C-17 (RCH4594 / 01-0186) looks to be inbound Northolt now and a Brazilian E190 (FAB2591) is booked for both Farnborough and Stansted at the same time this afternoon.

Australian A330s A39-006 and A39-004 both arrived Sydney. A39-006 has just departed as ASY372. Could be the two for Stansted on Friday.

Unfortunately, for me at any rate, it looks like the second A330 will be A39-007 not A39-004. A39-007 is airborne heading NW as ASY365. Noted that A39-004 is at SYD, it did not arrive on an ASY callsign as the other 2 did. It may be there as a backup aircraft possibly

A pure guess but maybe the Australians are using A330(s) (instead of a 737) because they have offered a lift to a number of small Pacific nations who do not have their own transport.

There is also an Aussie 737, ASY380. A36-001 on ADSB heading West, just past Singapore. Similar route to A39-006 and A39-007 the two A330s... not sure if they are all UK bound though.

Acars.Adsbexhange.com has A39-007 stopping off in OMDB Dubai
( Under the interesting aircraft section)

Saw them both as Qantas unfortunately

Its saying A36-001 left Singapore and just coming to India on ADSB? Cannot see A39-007 on ADSB but A39-006 is showing.
