It’s great to see more passengers are choosing to travel through London Gatwick, as we continue to experience one of our best summers yet. In fact, 𝟭𝟵.𝟵 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 travelled through the airport in the first half of this year. This represents a 7.7% increase on 2023, as published in our 2024 interim results announced yesterday. It’s important that we provide a reliable and enjoyable experience for our passengers and I am incredibly proud of our teams who have helped us meet 100% of our agreed service metrics. This includes 97% of passengers getting through security in less than five minutes or less, and working in partnership with our special assistance provider, Wilson James, meeting all requirements to help passengers needing assistance. There has also been strong collaboration with our airlines and our partners across the airport, to support passengers at every step of the airport experience. Our teams have also worked hard to support our commitment to grow sustainably . Our recent announcement of the London Gatwick Hydrogen Hub with Airbus Aircraft, easyJet and Air Products marks a significant step towards zero carbon flights. I’m also proud of innovative initiatives like our GRIDSERVE electric vehicle charging facility and replacing diesel with hydrotreated vegetable oil, driving us closer towards our ambition of net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030. As the demand for travel continues to increase, and our network of short and long-haul routes continue to develop, we will all build on our vision to be the airport for everyone, whatever your journey.
