STANSTED has been crowned the fastest growing major airport for the third year in a row, recording a growth a 17.5% in 2002.
According to figures released by the Airports Council International, over 16 million passengers used the airport during the year, making it the 64th busiest in the world.
The airport benefited from the upsurge in low-cost carriers using Stansted, including Ryanair, EasyJet and Air Berlin.
Stansted business development and planning director Chris Butler said: "We have well over 100 scheduled destinations available from Stansted this summer and expect another very busy year.
"To keep pace with continuing demand we have secured planning permission to develop Stansted to serve 25 million passengers a year."
