LONDON - London Stansted recorded the busiest day in its history as the start of the half-term holidays saw more than 107,000 passengers pass through the terminal on 27th October.

The new daily record beat the previous high of 104,000 set on 23rd August, "and is the fourth time the record has been broken in 2024," the airport said.
