LONDON GATWICK AIRPORT

London Gatwick is the UK’s second largest airport and operates the most efficient single-runway airport in the world.

London Gatwick serves around 200 destinations (more than any other UK airport) in 90 countries. The two main Terminal buildings (North & South) handle 34 million passengers a year on short and long haul point-to-point services.

The airport is also a major economic driver for the South-East region, generating around 23,000 on-airport jobs and a further 13,000 jobs through related activities. br>London Gatwick is located 28 miles south of London with excellent public transport links into the heart of London and elsewhere.

The dynamic nature of the aviation transport industry means that supporting infrastructure is constantly undergoing alteration and extension.

London Gatwick is in the latter stages of a £1.2 billion infrastructure investment programme, with a mission to make Gatwick London’s airport of choice, with the connections people need and the level of service they require.

Within this ever changing environment, encompassing building layout, building occupancy and building services arrangements, fire and evacuation strategies are key to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all occupants, both passengers and staff alike. This ensures that, should the fire prevention efforts fail, that evacuation measures can be safely and effectively implemented and managed at all material times.
