Gatwick Airport is set for a major expansion as top airlines including British Airways, EasyJet, Ryanair, and American Airlines support its next phase of growth.
Second runway to boost flights
The expansion centres around a second runway, expected to add over 100,000 flights each year. By 2030, Gatwick aims to handle more than 75 million passengers annually.
Better global connectivity
The second runway will ease congestion and improve links to key destinations including Spain, China, and the U.S. This change will improve both passenger flow and travel options.
Airlines announce route upgrades
British Airways plans to boost long-haul services, adding more U.S. cities like New York and Los Angeles. EasyJet will expand routes to European holiday destinations.
Low-cost and long-haul mix
Ryanair is set to increase budget flights to France, Spain, and Germany. American Airlines will connect Gatwick to Miami, Boston, and Chicago with new direct flights.
Economic impact around Gatwick
The project is expected to create jobs and lift the local economy. Hotels and tourism businesses near Gatwick are already preparing to meet future demand.
