Gatwick Airport subsidises lateral flow, PCR tests
Gatwick Airport is offering passengers cheaper PCR tests, by subsidising prices at its on-site Covid-19 screening centres, operated by ExpressTest.
Two centres currently operate from Gatwick; a drive-in option located within the airport’s Perimeter Road South (RH6 0PQ) car park, and a walk-in centre situated within the North Terminal.
Gatwick had already subsidised ‘fit-to-fly’ on-site PCR tests since the drive-in centre opened in November last year, with the airport’s passengers and staff able to take a test for just £59.
With the overall costs of PCR tests continuing to act as a barrier for travel, Gatwick has decided to further reduce costs for passengers, by announcing further subsidised rates.
Subsidised prices will be available exclusively for Gatwick passengers, via a designated discount code.
They offer £10 discounts on green, amber and test to release tests.
Lateral flow fit-to-fly tests are discounted by £2.
"Gatwick Airport recognises that the cost of PCR tests is prohibitive and acts as barrier preventing larger numbers from booking international travel. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer passengers a more cost-effective solution," Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport said.
