Perhaps another instance of the mangle & spin it how you might of stats could be then the area size of major UK airports...

LTN is tiny & 2nd smallest with 196 Ha.

Random others...

MAN 552 Ha
LGW 615 Ha
STN 713 Ha
ABZ 824 Ha
LHR 1215 Ha

& very surprisingly (perhaps) BFS is the largest airport in the UK with 1420 Ha!.
Size is irrelevant but it’s what you do with it that matters! LTN might be small but if you consider it another way; in terms of size it is very efficient and from another angle most UK airports would love to have its footfall. Come the time when it builds those 16+ stands... it is capable of becoming the UKs number 3 airport! When it reaches its true potential the climax will leave the likes of MAG fealing inferior!
