This is a low-impact plan which is designed to maximise the use of existing infrastructure and involves moving the centre-line of Gatwick’s current Northern Runway 12m to enable it to be used for departing flights, alongside the existing Main Runway.

The project is forecast to generate an extra 18,400 new jobs - developing skills and employability for local children and for future generations – as well as an extra £1.5bn GVA for the region’s economy and providing opportunities for local businesses.
