November was the busiest ever for London Gatwick Airport

London Gatwick had the busiest November ever since its existence as it registered 2.9 million passengers. Growing more than 2 percent compared to the same month last year. Cargo and commercial flights increased largely this year.

Most growth on Asian destinations

As more intercontinental destinations were added to the Gatwick flight schedule, more passengers find their way through the second largest London Airport. Especially since the capacity of Heathrow has reached its limit. The biggest passenger increase was noticed on the Gatwick route to Hong Kong, growing with an overwhelming 75(!) percent. Other passengers were escaping the winter weather and flying off to the sun in St. Lucia and Mauritius.
