Henry Smith praised the management of Gatwick and the thousands of Crawley residents who work at the airport in a speech in the House of Commons last night.
Henry said:
“Over the last two years Gatwick has made significant progress that has helped to improve its efficiency and the passenger experience as a whole. More than £1 billion has been spent on these works with upgrades to both the North and South Terminals, the introduction of state of the art security facilities and improvements to Gatwick Train Station.
“I wanted to fully commend in the Commons the fantastic work everyone at Gatwick has done to improve the airport over the last two years. Thousands of Crawley residents work at the airport and their hard work has brought about a real difference in the experience for every passenger visiting the airport."
Crawley MP, Henry Smith, was speaking in the Second Reading debate of the Civil Aviation Bill. Despite huge changes, legislation has not been updated in this area for over a quarter of a century.
