How many destinations outside Europe? (OK, I see there's a flight to Las
Vegas planned for next year).

Just because most destinations are in Europe doesn't equate to the
airport serving "very limited destinations"

It does, because many people have destinations outside Europe. It
Stansted wants to re-brand as "The gateway to Europe - all other fliers
try Heathrow", then fine.

- that would mean just a few destinations, and there are in fact many.

I wonder how many are served the twice a day needed to make useful
business trips (out in the morning, back in the evening a day or two
later). I suspect (but don't have the time to check) that many
destinations are less than daily.
