What is the passenger throughput at Stansted Airport?
The most commonly quoted measurement is millions of passengers per annum (mppa). In 2007, Stansted handled 24 million passenger movements. Whilst this is more than four times as many as in 1997, growth has reversed since October 2007 and the numbers are now in decline. BAA has planning approval for the airport to handle up to 25 million passengers in any 12 month period.
