About London Gatwick

London Gatwick operates on a single runway and consistently achieves one of the world's highest single-runway throughput rates. This impressive efficiency comes with a trade-off: any runway closure or capacity reduction, however brief, immediately causes a backlog. Gatwick is frequently affected by convective weather moving across the English Channel in summer, and its proximity to London means a ground stop here ripples across all four London airports.
