Easier journeys through security at Gatwick -
GATWICK NEWS
A trio of first visits to finish the month.
ET-ANN B772 (40770/900) Ethiopian A/L from/to Addis Ababa this morning ?
G-CMJM AT76 (1464 ex B-28082, OY-YCM, EI-GZW) Aer Lingus Regional from/to Glasgow this morning for British A/W
TC-LPP A21N (12431) Turkish A/L from/to Istanbul this morning
Predicted to make its first visit tomorrow is Aer Lingus Regional AT76 G-CMJN, sta 09.25 as SHT1481 from Glasgow.
Gatwick paid host to 55 first visits during March compared to 44 in the? same month last year. This broke down to 48 airliners, four biz jets, two biz props & a single government machine, while 46 were new airframes for the airport. The list may be found below.
At the end of 1Q25, we had received 139 first visits, up nine on 1Q24. However, I fear that 2Q25 will fail to reach the heady heights of 2Q24 when we saw 266 first visits at Gatwick.
