Show notes

Gatwick Airport’s profits plunged 18% in the first half of the year, hitting £136.5 million, as geopolitical tensions dented travel to key destinations like Cyprus, Turkey, and parts of North Africa — leading to a 4.7% overall drop in passenger numbers to 19.1 million. Long-haul flights were hardest hit, down 9.2%, while rising jet fuel costs and a 5% surge in operating expenses to £318 million further strained finances. Despite these challenges, Gatwick is pushing ahead with runway expansion plans to handle 100,000 more flights annually, balancing cost control with service quality amid ongoing uncertainty.
