Holidaymakers took to the skies in record numbers during half term, with more than 2.01 million passengers passing through the terminal last month.
It represents an increase of 91,000 passengers from the previous monthly record set a year ago.
The number of passengers using London Stansted in the 12-months to the end of February stands at 29.77 million, an increase of 5.2%.
Nearly 830,000 passengers travelled through Stansted during the half-term week alone.
Demand during the period also remained high from inbound overseas visitors.
The most popular destinations for winter sun-seekers included the Canary Islands, Southern Spain, Turkey, and Dubai.
The top snow sports choices were Geneva, Chambery, Grenoble, Turin, Innsbruck, and Zurich.
Short city breaks were also in high demand with Dublin, Edinburgh and Istanbul the most popular.
Despite the record numbers, operational performance during the month remained strong, with more than 98% of passengers passing through security in 15 minutes or less.
Ciaran Brannigan, London Stansted’s Commercial Director, said: “We don’t expect to see any let up in demand as we push ever closer to breaking through the 30 million passengers a year milestone at London Stansted.”
