ondon Gatwick Airport has opened a new facility for travellers arriving from the UK and Ireland which it says will allow a faster and more convenient exit.
The route through the South Terminal will see passengers disembark the aircraft from a jetty or steps and head straight into the terminal building.
Previously, arrivals from parts of the UK, the Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland had to be coached from their aircraft to a special baggage reclaim area to ensure segregation from international passengers, in line with immigration policies.
A new dedicated baggage reclaim belt has also been installed.
Basically just going back to the old gates that Ryanair used to have before they were moved about. At least now roof is not leaking (ok wasn't raining so assume it doesn't) and place has been refurbed.
