LONDON Stansted recorded the busiest month in the airport’s history as it welcomed more than 3.1m passengers in July. The airport also saw daily passenger numbers top 100,000 on 18 days during July, the most in any individual month at Stansted. Gareth Powell, Managing Director of London Stansted, said:“July was a real landmark month for London Stansted with more than 3.1 million passengers choosing to travel through the airport for the first time in our history. Our extensive European network is perfectly placed to meet that demand, giving passengers great choice across the continent. “At the same time, long-haul connectivity from Stansted has been boosted with Emirates recently returning to double-daily flights between London Stansted and Dubai, allowing more people to connect onwards to 140 global destinations.
