Including facts, figures and photographs, the guides have been checked on site by trained surveyors from AccessAble – a world leader in the provision of accessibility information.   

Anna-Ruth Cockerham, Accessibility Manager, London Gatwick said: “September and October are typically our busiest months for welcoming passengers who require some extra assistance, so we are delighted to launch our new Detailed Access Guides to help make those journeys through the airport easier.  

“We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. These guides will help London Gatwick achieve its vision to be the airport for everyone, whatever your journey.”

The AccessAble website offers the opportunity to create real change in the way that disabled people travel and we hope this exciting programme with London Gatwick, one of the most important transport hubs in the UK, represents a significant moment on this journey.”
