The £24m investment means arriving passengers can now disembark aircraft from a jetty or via aircraft steps straight into the terminal. A dedicated baggage reclaim belt has also been installed, freeing capacity for international passengers.

The investments are part of Gatwick’s £1.11bn capital investment programme and a global commitment by Vinci Airports, which owns 50.01% of Gatwick, to find the most innovative ways to optimise infrastructure and passenger movement.
