The continuing growth of passengers and the increasing number of airlines who want to fly from Stansted Airport are rewarding BAA's investment of more than £500 million since 1986. A £200 million project to develop Stansted to a capacity of 15 million began this year. Having broken even in 1996/97, the airport now makes an operating profit.
