Several airlines, particularly low-cost airlines, have their base at Stansted airport. It was built in 1942 by the US Army as a military base. After the war, in 1947, it was sold to the Ministry of Aviation and definitively to the British Airports Authority in 1966.

 

The terminal building was designed by Foster Associates and features a "floating" roof supported by an inverted pyramid lattice structure. London Stansted is the third busiest airport in London and serves around million passengers annually.
