Gatwick Airport investment plans and progress

 

CIHT South Eastern Branch meeting

Sofitel Gatwick, 21 February, 17.30 for 18.00 start

 

Gatwick is undergoing a massive transformation through a £1.2 billion capital investment programme. At this meeting of the South Eastern Branch of CIHT, Gatwick Airport’s head of Piers, Infrastructure & Airfield Projects Ben Green will give an update on improvements at Gatwick since the airport’s change in ownership in December 2009 and explain future investment plans planned for 2013-2019.

 

In April 2012, Gatwick launched its business plan for 2012-2014, which forms part of its submission to the CAA as a regulated airport. Highlights include:

·        growth in traffic from around 34 million passengers today, to around 38 million passengers as we approach 2020

·        growth in non-aeronautical spend per passenger through innovation and improved offerings

·        improvements in all elements of the passenger journey through our airport, leading to a much better experience for all types of passengers,  and increasing operating efficiency

·        £1.15bn of capital expenditure between 2014 and 2020.

 

Chartered civil engineer Ben Green is responsible for delivery of all pier and infrastructure projects at Gatwick. This includes redevelopment of piers one, five and six, together with other essential airport infrastructure such as South Terminal entrance bridges, surface water flood alleviation and pollution prevention projects.

 

This meeting is free of charge and open to all members and non

members of CIHT, their partners and guests. Refreshments will be

provided from 17.30. The meeting will close around 19.00.
