Our Decade of Change

Our work with the community

We value working with our neighbours and the wider community across the region. We engage in a variety of ways to find out about what matters to people and keep them up to date about airport issues. We also work with community groups and industry bodies on a range of issues of interest and concern.

Gatwick Airport Consultative Committee - GATCOM

This is an independent group made up from a wide range of interests. From local authorities, civil aviation, passenger, business and tourism, community and environmental groups. It looks at issues and questions about the operation and development of the airport and its effect on local communities, passengers, airlines and other users of the airport.

Discover Gatwick events

We host events as part of our Discover Gatwick programme. We value our relationships with our neighbours and to talk about our role in local matters. This is a chance to get a behind the scenes look at our operation. If you represent the community and would like to attend an event, please get in touch.
