No, Stansted Airport has an owner, and they own its spelling, unlike the

Stansted Airport is an airport located near a village called Stansted
(Mountfitchet), with that spelling. Arguably the people who live
there get to define what the village is called, and the airport's name
derives from that...

The fact that the airport is not called Stansted Mountfitchet Airport
completely undermines your argument.
