Gareth Powell, the big boss at Stansted, said: 'Our success continues to be driven by the endless possibilities to travel affordably and conveniently from London Stansted with the choice of around fantastic 200 destinations, plus the reliable and efficient airport operation we are able to deliver for our passengers.'
Heathrow revealed that it had just had a record-breaking year in 2024, as London Stansted welcomed 29.8m passengers in 2024, beating its previous record of 28.1m in 2019.
The good news comes as Stansted prepares to begin its enormous £1.1bn expansion, which includes the development of an on-site solar farm, an enlarged security hall and a £600m transformation of the main terminal.
Once the work is complete, the airport says it will be able to welcome a whopping 43 million passengers annually - that's two million more than rival port Gatwick.
