Gatwick Airport has announced plans to operate airlines out of specific terminals – with easyJet and British Airways already agreeing to the changes.

Following a strategic review of how the North and South terminals operate, airport bosses have decided to base different airlines out of single terminals, making it easier for customers using the airlines.

British Airways will move to the South Terminal, from the North Terminal, while easyJet will be based out of the North Terminal instead of being spread across both.

The moves are set to take place towards the end of 2016.

Both terminals will benefit from several changes and upgrades including new check-in areas and security areas.

Carolyn McCall, CEO of EasyJet, said: “Moving to one terminal creates the opportunity for easyJet and Gatwick to plan and deliver an improved experience for our passengers. Our shared ambition is for Gatwick to be both our biggest and best airport.

“Alongside the consolidation to one terminal we also plan to continue to grow at Gatwick through increasing our destinations, further improving our schedule and by deploying larger aircraft.”

Other airline movements will be made throughout the year.
