The programme of work included 6,500m2 of asphalt resurfacing as well as the removal and replacement of over 120 Aeronautical Ground Lights and runway line marking and re-painting works.

Gareth Bates, Dyer & Butler’s Operations Manager at Gatwick Airport, commented: “The recent period of reduced air traffic at the airport provided a window of opportunity for Dyer & Butler to deliver these improvements during daylight hours whilst arriving and departing traffic used the Airport’s Northern runway.
