Gatwick Airport has revealed that its multimillion-pound renovation will open to the public from tomorrow, November 21.
Passengers travelling through Gatwick often experience major delays and face long queues. The £250 million (R5,7bn) upgrade started in 2020 will ease crowding, while upgrades to surrounding rail systems will reduce journey times to and from the airport by five minutes.
“The existing airport station was never designed for the growth and the demand of over 20 million passengers a year using it,” said Lucy McAuliffe, Network Rail’s Sussex Route Director. “So what we’ve done is really invested in transforming the passenger experience here at the airport station, in order to unlock capacity, reduce congestion and just overall enhance passenger experience.”
