EasyJet agrees growth deal with Gatwick
EASYJET has agreed to launch more flights at Gatwick as part of a deal on fees, forcing a reshuffle for other airlines at the airport.
The budget carrier has signed a seven-year settlement that “incentivises the airline to grow at the airport”.
The agreement means EasyJet will move its flights into the north terminal, in turn pushing British Airways into the south terminal.
“Our shared ambition is for Gatwick to be both our biggest and best airport,” said boss Carolyn McCall.
EasyJet bought 25 take-off and landing slots at Gatwick from Flybe last year to give it more space to expand.
