The Airport Operator: Summer 2025
20 June 2025
The Gatwick Region Airport Economic Zone, launched at UKREiiF (the UK’s premier real estate, investment and infrastructure forum) in Leeds, is the UK’s first aviation-powered economic zone, representing 7% of the UK economy.
The launch, showcasing the region and its strengths to investors and developers from around the world, followed six months of preparatory work by an expert taskforce from the public and private sectors. A delegation of 27 partners attended the forum to promote the zone and its new brand identity, and to help attract new investment into the region, covering West Sussex, East Sussex, Brighton and Hove, Surrey, Croydon and Kent. The region is home to universities and industry clusters, including aerospace, clean energy, life sciences, creative industries and advanced manufacturing, as well as London Gatwick, the UK’s second largest airport.
