Airlines to switch Gatwick terminals ...

BRITISH AIRWAYS (BA) and easyJet are among the carriers that will switch terminals at Gatwick Airport under a new strategy.

easyJet’s operations will be consolidated in the North Terminal in winter 2016, while all BA flights will move to the South Terminal.

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

easyJet said the move would help its plans to grow operations from Gatwick.

BA’s check-in zone in the South Terminal will be upgraded and a new premium lounge built.

The moves are part of the airport’s strategy to have airlines operate out of single terminals to ease connections and simplify operations.

Exeter passenger numbers up ....

PASSENGERS using Exeter airport rose by almost 30,000 last year due to new domestic flights and continued investment in airport facilities. 

The total number of passengers using the airport rose to 763,000, building on the previous year’s growth which saw numbers rise for the first time in six years.

That many jobs? ....

EUROPE’S airports sustain employment for 12.3 million people earning a total of €365 billion (£271 billion) in income annually, according to a report submitted to the European Parliament.
