Low-cost airline easyJet was today greeting its 20 millionth passenger.
The as-yet-unknown traveller was expected to check in at Gatwick Airport this afternoon and will be given free flights to Marrakech.
The airline's UK market manager Katie Stitson said: "Today marks a great achievement for us.
"Since operations began in 1999, 20m passengers have chosen to fly with easyJet from London Gatwick, more than 5.7m in the past 12 months."
