Surrey Chambers 'Future Of Gatwick' Breakfast, Guildford

The Future of Gatwick Airport Presentation and Discussion

Gatwick has submitted to the Airports Commission a proposal for a second runway – positioned to the south of the current site. Gatwick has provided a robust and compelling case outlining why the next runway should be built and believes it is the most affordable, sustainable and deliverable solution for London and for the UK.

Guest speaker: Stewart Wingate, Chief Executive, Gatwick Airport

Stewart said: “London is the best connected city in the world today because the UK's aviation industry is one of the most competitive and innovative. Our proposal to the Airports Commission builds on this foundation and would ensure that the UK has an airports policy which offers the additional capacity that Britain needs, improves the resilience of the airports system and, above all, can be delivered.

“Our evidence shows clearly that an additional runway at Gatwick would best serve the needs of all passengers, and give certainty to airlines, communities and businesses. It would deliver the connectivity the UK needs with lower environmental impacts, whilst spreading the economic benefits.

Our proposal builds on the strengths on the existing network of airports, which serve the widespread and densely populated London and South East market. It is the best solution for London and the UK on the grounds that it:

• Offers certainty
• Has significantly less environmental and community obstacles
• Provides the best strategic fit for London and the UK
• Delivers for passengers
• Delivers better connectivity
• Maintains connectivity of the regions, London and the South East
• Builds on strong local support
