Immediate boarding at Gatwick

26 December 2011 - Events - United Kingdom

The new security zone at the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport, in the UK, created by the Air division of VINCI Construction UK, was inaugurated on 11 October last.

The new installations enable passenger waiting time to be reduced by some 25%, thanks, notably, to new technical tools (automated access following scanning of a boarding card, etc.). Providing for 19 queues (of which two devoted to families accompanied by young children and to people with reduced mobility; and a further two to business travellers), this new security zone is able to process 5,000 passengers an hour.
Total value of the works: £45m (€53m).
