New Gatwick Designs Released

摘要

Gat wick Airport has unveiled new designs for what it claims would be the world's most efficient two-runway airport, should it win the battle against London Heathrow Airport for expansion. Architect Sir Terry Farrell has drawn up the plans, which the airport says will eliminate queues, speed up passenger transit through the airport and match the quickest aircraft turnaround times in the world. It says this will be achieved with self-service bag drops and electronic security gates allowing passengers to reach boarding gates "just 30 minutes after arriving at the airport'.' Gatwick adds that the plans are "comparatively simple and low risk" and can be delivered in ten years. The airport's Chief Executive, Stewart Wingate, said: 'An expanded Gatwick can be delivered quickly and at no additional cost to the taxpayer so the UK can reap the economic benefits of expansion sooner. 'The way we travel is changing fast and we have to change with it - only Gatwick can cater for all passengers, travelling to any destination, with any airline type, now and into the future."
