Gatwick terminal switch starts tomorrow
The first phase of a major terminal switch at London Gatwick starts tomorrow (Tuesday).
EasyJet, which currently operates out of both terminals, will consolidate its entire operation in the North Terminal.
From Wednesday, British Airways will move to the South Terminal and Virgin Atlantic will move to the North Terminal.
The shake-up, the airport’s biggest project to date, took two years to plan.
All three airlines will operate a reduced flying programme designed to simplify the upheaval.
Gatwick said the changes will improve passenger experience with state-of-the-art technology at check-in, security and immigration as well as new bag-drop zones. It will also bring new British Airways and Virgin Atlantic lounges.
