Michael O'Leary said that he had no interest in owning the Essex facility, but would happily show any new owners how to build a second terminal for just £200 million, a runway for £150 million and double its capacity to more than 40 million passengers a year.
At a press conference in Dublin, he added: “We've offered to build a second terminal in Stansted in the past and double the traffic.
“But the BAA told us to go away.
“The only way airports make money is to build passengers numbers.”
