Gatwick Airport broke the 40 million passengers a year mark for the first time last weekend and is rapidly approaching full capacity.
The Airports Commission had said the airport would take nearly ten years to hit the milestone.
Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick, said: “To reach 40 million passengers a year is a tremendous achievement and sets a global benchmark for a single runway airport.
"We have grown rapidly under new ownership and the benefits of competition are clear for passengers - more choice, higher standards and lower fares."
A government decision on airport expansion is expected in weeks.
