London Gatwick

🤝 It was great to have the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) visit London Gatwick alongside representatives from Bosch, DHL Supply Chain, IBM, Port of London Authority and BOC UK & Ireland. We took our guests out onto the airfield to watch the airport in action, where we discussed our shovel-ready plans to bring our Northern Runway into routine use. With growth and productivity high on the political agenda as the Budget announcement approaches, our £2.2 billion plans are well-supported by business and can contribute to kickstarting economic growth.

Why can't an airport reach net zero? All of us in the aviation industry need to play our part in achieving reducing our emissions 🌍 That’s why we have an ambitious goal to reach net zero for our direct emissions by 2030 Find out about our route to net zero: https://lnkd.in/dwRsbVc

We're very proud that our train station upgrade - which included a new, second concourse and airport entrance, doubling the space for the millions of passengers that use the station - has been 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 at the 2024 National Transport Awards. 🎉 Alongside our partners Network Rail, Costain Group PLC and GTR (Govia Thameslink Railway), we were recognised in the Design, Engineering & Construction Project of the Year category. 🤝

Did you know that by 2030 we aim to repurpose 💯% of our construction and commercial materials? We recently saved 100,000kg of C02 emissions when building an access road, by using leftovers from runway and taxiway resurfacings that would've otherwise gone to waste ♻ We also constructed a water drainage system for our neighbouring farmers along the way 🚰 We're committed to supporting our local community and finding sustainable solutions wherever possible - find out more about our sustainability and net zero plans in our Decade of Change roadmap: https://lnkd.in/ddiiK5fT 🌿

To mark #WorldMenopauseDay GP and menopause specialist Dr Nadira Awal hosted open and honest discussions with our colleagues. The discussions included a men-only event, creating a safe space for male colleagues to find out more and ask questions, as well as a session focused on peri-menopause. Organised by Equal Plane (our gender equality Business Resource Group), we’re aiming to build awareness of this once taboo subject, so we can empower our colleagues with knowledge and encourage more open conservations about health, as well as build inclusivity and allyship.

At the International Investment Summit, the Prime Minister's ambition to make the UK the G7's fastest growing economy was a breath of fresh air. So too was the very clear message that the country is a great place to invest in. As the Government looks to kickstart growth and establish new trade deals across the globe, London Gatwick’s growing international connections will be needed more than ever. Our privately financed plan to bring our Northern Runway into routine use is shovel-ready. If given the green light, another £2.2 billion infrastructure investment can be added to the Government's list of infrastructure projects that are taking the brakes off UK PLC. Read more about our plans here: https://lnkd.in/efAcugxd The Northern Runway plan is straightforward. It could be operational by the end of the decade, would create 14,000 new jobs and generate £1 billion extra for the economy every year.   Our proposal also meets Labour’s airport expansion tests and follows aviation policy by making best use of our existing assets.     Momentum for growth is building. We need to seize the opportunity. https://lnkd.in/epj8XPhK
