The free Detailed Access Guides cover 30 different areas of London Gatwick - including departures and arrivals, car parks and the train station – and provide passengers with information such as flooring types, signage, light and noise levels, step-free access, walking distances, seating and accessible toilets, alongside a host of other details.

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.”
