London Gatwick delivers strong start to 2023 results with
strengthened destination network
-- Strong financial performance in first half of 2023
-- Nearly 50 airlines fly from the airport to over 200
destinations, including 50 long-haul routes
-- Working with airport partners to improve on time performance.
-- S ix-year investment plan sets out improvements to develop infrastructure and facilities
-- Northern Runway plan submitted and accepted by the Planning inspectorate for examination
Despite a challenging operational environment, strong demand for
travel continued in the first half of 2023 at London Gatwick.
Supported by hard work from frontline colleagues, revenue
increased in the first half of 2023, compared to 2022, and the
business achieved an improved EBITDA and increased net profit, t he
airport said today when publishing its interim financial
results.
2023 interim results include:
-- 18.5 million passengers travelled through the airport in the
first six months of 2023, up 41% compared to the same period in
2022. However, traffic was heavily impacted by COVID-19 travel
restrictions, particularly in Q1 2022.
-- GBP423.3 million revenue, up 45% compared to 2022. Includes
GBP212.7 million aeronautical income and GBP210.6 million from
non-aeronautical sources, such as retail and parking
-- Operating costs (excluding depreciation, amortisation and
exceptional costs) were GBP187.6 million for the period, up 31% on
2022
-- EBITDA at GBP235.7m, up 59% on 2022, with net profit for the
period at GBP79.1 million, up 56%
Challenging operational environment in Europe
While air traffic movements at London Gatwick remain below
pre-pandemic levels at 86% for the period, a greater number of air
traffic control restrictions than normal, across large parts of
Europe affected on time performance. Restrictions are put in place
to manage and smooth out the flow of congested air traffic.
London Gatwick is working with airlines and ground handlers to
ensure aircraft are ready to go for the first wave of departures
early in the morning and throughout the rest of the day. The
airport also took proactive action to prevent ground handling
industrial action this summer, ensuring flights could continue as
normal.
A further 200 security officers were recruited ahead of the busy
summer period, which helped the airport get 98% of passengers
through security in less than five minutes. The airport also hit
99.6% of all measured service level requirements during the
period.
Future sustainable growth
London Gatwick has published a six-year Capital Investment
Programme setting out significant improvements to develop and
enhance airport infrastructure and facilities, while also meeting
the airport's sustainability goals. The programme has been
consulted on and agreed with airlines, and includes:
-- Investing over GBP250 million to meet the commitment to
become a net zero airport by 2030 (for Scope 1 and 2 emissions),
including replacing over 100 gas boilers
-- A GBP120 million-plus extension to the existing Pier 6 in the
North Terminal to provide eight new pier-served aircraft stands
-- A GBP70 million programme to rehabilitate airport taxiways,
with airfield resilience improved further with a new Rapid Exit
Taxiway, reducing runway occupancy and aircraft taxi times
-- A new GBP44.2 million, 3,250 space new multi storey car park
in the North Terminal, due to open in Autumn 2024
-- A GBP10-million pound plus redevelopment of the North
Terminal departure lounge due to complete in 2024
London Gatwick's planning application (known as a Development
Consent Order (DCO)) to bring its existing Northern Runway into
routine use was also accepted for detailed examination by the
Planning Inspectorate on 3 August and will now be scrutinised in
detail by a panel of independent inspectors. A successful
application would bring both resilience and additional capacity,
while also generating around 14,000 new jobs and GBP1 billion for
the region's economy every year.
Stewart Wingate, Chief Executive Officer, London Gatwick, said:
"We worked closely with our partners to make sure the airport was
well resourced ahead of the summer. This and the hard work of our
frontline colleagues helped us provide passengers with a good level
of service, despite a challenging operational environment across
much of Europe.
"We will continue working closely with our airport partners to
improve punctuality, supported by projects in our new Capital
Investment Programme to build airport resilience and long-term
sustainable growth. In this respect, I'm pleased that our planning
application to bring our existing Northern Runway into routine use
has moved forward to the examination stage.
"It's also promising to see the airport's recovery continue, as
we once again provide passengers with more choice. Forty-nine
airlines now fly from the airport to over 200 destinations,
including 50 long haul routes."
