Oran? Hmm, I hope so, leaves scope for a flight to Algiers in the future which I would find extremely useful needing to visit.
Would have thought maybe Algiers first, but... This could be interesting after Ryanair's intentions to fly to further cities in Morocco along with Algeria, Libya and Egypt. Could EZY be getting in early? I hope so.

Norwegian has signed a seven year partnership contract with London Gatwick. Norwegian is one of the fastest growing airlines at Gatwick and plans to open several new routes here in the future, including long-haul routes.
The partnership connects Norwegian and London Gatwick even closer together, for example in relations to route development and marketing.
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, commercially branded “Norwegian”, is a low-cost airline listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Norwegian is the second largest airline in Scandinavia and third largest low cost carrier in Europe. More than 20 million passengers fly on its network per year. The company has 275 undelivered aircraft on firm order. Norwegian was voted Europe’s best low-cost carrier of the year by the renowned SkyTrax World Airline Awards. Norwegian offers better leg room than most competitors, in-flight WiFi, world-class punctuality and a fleet of 80 aircraft with an average age of only 4.6 years.
I hear that this allows for 2 based 787's and at least 16 narrow body (738/320) aircraft...quite where the space or slots will come from???

Govt announced plans to spend £50m on the train station at Gatwick.
Yes, the station could do with some money being spent on it, but £50m sounds like quite a lot. Anyone have more info ?

These are Govt infrastructure annoucements today, so a pretty safe bet there will be absolutely nothing on airports ;-)
They have lots of long grass to kick things into, of course.

It's the same announcement as last year (or maybe earlier this year), when £53m was also quoted, along with increasing the number of platforms at the station.
There's a bit of info about it all on the Gatwick Airport website. Here's some.....
..... and the rest

Apparently, Gatwick's recent growth has been recognised. I may be reading between the lines, but I'm starting to think that the airport may actually make it to the shortlist when the Davies Commission eventually reports.

The Government’s funding commitment follows a letter from the Independent Chair of the Airports Commission Sir Howard Davies to the Chancellor, which recognises Gatwick’s success in increasing the number of long haul destinations served, and includes a series of recommendations on improving surface access to enable passengers to more effectively access new and existing routes.

Doesn't Sir Howard's letter to the Chancellor say that the current plans aren't good enough at Gatwick and more should be done so that passengers can easily transfer luggage onto trains that can cope with the luggage :

Must say I've always found it a bit of a rigmarole myself and luggage trolleys should be able to go to the platform.......
