LGW to double the corridors with a government of approvals 2.2 billion pounds sterling plans
LGW Airport project (LGW) has obtained an airport runway worth 2.2 billion pounds, where he obtained final approval from the Minister of Transport Heidi Alexander, which represents a major development of the aviation and logistical services sector in the United Kingdom.
The private sector, the private sector, will re -set the current emergency runway from Gatwick, 13 yards north, allowing him to work along with the main tape of the tight physical aircraft such as Airbus A320S and Boeing 737s. The upgrade is expected to accommodate about 100,000 additional flights annually, as operations are likely to start before 2029.
“After a long and strict planning process, we welcome the government’s approval of plans to make our northern runway to routine use, before the expected deadline,” said Stewart Winjit, Managing Director of Vinci Airports in the United Kingdom.
“This is another important gateway in the planning process of this investment, which is valued at 2.2 billion pounds, which is fully funded by our shareholders and will open significant growth in growth, tourism and trade in London Gatwick and the United Kingdom and create thousands of jobs.
As we said earlier, it is necessary for us to enable us any planning conditions to realize the full benefits of the project and do not impose unnecessary restrictions that make irregular investment.
“We now need to study the details of the planning approval carefully. Once we do, we will be able to comment more.”
Shipping opportunity
While a lot of attention has focused historically on the role of Gatwick in traveling with passengers, the airport has become an increased importance for air charging. Last year, Gatwick dealt with more than 150,000 tons of shipping, as sharp sizes are expected to climb as soon as the second runway is run. The expanded capacity will enhance the airport position as a critical gateway to time sensitive commodities such as medications, damage, and e -commerce charges.
Airport executives argue that the project is necessary to meet the demands of exporters and importers in the United Kingdom. A government source commented, “With the restrictions of the capacity that hinders business, trade and tourism, this is irrational to grow,” adding that the new runway will directly support regional and national supply chains.
GATWICK has placed itself as a vital logistical node, linking British companies to European, Middle East and North America markets. Shipping operators, including DHL, FEDEX and UPS, point to an interest in expanding the scope of activity as soon as there are additional openings. The Southern Shipping Center for the airport, which is already a major distribution center, is expected to witness greater expansion and integration with digital customs systems to accelerate clearance operations.
The Minister of Transport, Alexander, supported the plan after it addressed the revised plans for concerns about the noise management, the connection of the surface transport, and the environmental impact. “The Minister of Transport has cleansed Gatwick’s expansion to take off,” said one of the government’s familiarity. “Any expansion at the airport must be delivered in line with our legally binding obligations to change climate and meet strict environmental requirements.”
The planning inspector initially blocked the approval, but earlier this year the scheme recommended moving forward, which Gatwick has adopted since then.
The airport estimates that the runway will save one billion pounds of annual economic benefits and create up to 14,000 jobs through aviation industries, logistics and supportive industries. These benefits are expected to feel all over the southeast, especially in charging, and storing connecting sectors in the mud.
By turning the focus towards enhancing its ability to deal with goods, Gatwick aims to reduce the pressure on Heathrow while opening new trade opportunities for the United Kingdom. The airport leaders argue that the second runway is not only related to the increase in passenger flights, but also to ensure that Britain remains the infrastructure to remain competitive in global logistics.
