Gatwick to see 600,000 passengers this Bank Holiday weekend

Gatwick is preparing to host a record breaking Bank Holiday, this coming weekend.

Approximately six hundred thousand passengers are expected to fly out of Gatwick, as many holidaymakers try to fit in a last minute summer break.

Gatwick currently offers passengers more destinations than any other airport throughout the UK, and is always one of the busiest all-year round.

Nick Dunn, Gatwick chief financial officer, said: “Our record-breaking Bank Holiday figures show that competition is a great thing for passengers.

“In the short space of time since becoming independent, we have become an airport of choice offering more destinations than any other UK airport.

“Our long-haul destinations are growing fastest of the routes we serve and, with routes to Costa Rica and Peru - which will be the UK’s only direct flights to Lima - and new services to Canada starting next year, Gatwick continues to show that it is well placed to meet the needs of travellers.”
