London Gatwick Airport LGW is the second largest and busiest airport in the United Kingdom. Shifting dynamics are transforming the Airport from a secondary intercontinental airline hub into a predominantly European and domestic enterprise, particularly attractive to the London market. 'Global Infrastucture Partners', its new owner, makes modernizing the Airport its priority and many impovements are already in place. Attention to customer service excellence has already paid off - as evidence by an overwhelming passenger approval.

The Airport is located 5 km north of Crawley, West Sussex, and 46 km south of central London, England, accessible by a motorway spur road at junction 9A of M23, which links to the main M23, 1.5 km east at junction 9, and connects with London's orbital motorway. M25, 14 km north, allows access to Greater London and the Southeast. Locally, Gatwick is accessible via A23 serving Horley & Redhill to the north and Crawley & Brighton to the South. A217 offers access northwards to Reige. In addition, the Gatwick Airport railway station is adjacent to the South Terminal, which is being refurbished and scheduled for completion in 2013.
