London Gatwick airport is pressing ahead with terminal expansion as it awaits final approval for its Northern Runway project.
Over the next two years it is going to build a £140 million extension to its midfield pier, Pier 6.
This is the satellite terminal accessed from Gatwick North via the huge pedestrian airbridge built in 2005 – see below.
The extension to Pier 6 will create an additional eight aircraft gates. This will save the airport from having to bus 500,000 passengers to remote stands each year “saving 12,000 bus journeys”.
Cedric Laurier, Chief Technical Officer, London Gatwick said:
“This build is complex as it’s right in the heart of our airfield, but we’re experienced in delivering major projects in challenging environments at London Gatwick.”
The project is due to be completed in 2027.
