Gatwick enjoys a busy September

 

10 October 2007

BAA Gatwick Airport had a busy September, handling over three and a half million passengers, an increase of 3.9% on the same month last year. This compares to an overall increase across BAA’s seven UK airports of 2.9%.

Particular growth was seen at Gatwick in European scheduled traffic, which grew by 11.3% compared with
September last year and North Atlantic traffic, up 10.7%.

“We are very pleased to see such encouraging growth at Gatwick,” Andy Flower, Managing Director BAA
Gatwick said. “We are now seeing the benefits of improvements we have made to security, both the
number of arches and x-ray machines and the number of security officers to staff them. This will help to
ensure a speedy and pleasant experience for our passengers through the airport.
