Gatwick South Terminal pier demolition under way

[mhm]

Work has begun to demolish a pier linking Gatwick Airport's South Terminal to the aircraft boarding gates and replace it with a new building.

Pier One, which opened in 1962, was used by 1.86 million passengers last year.

The new building will have a baggage system allowing passengers to drop off bags as soon as they arrive without having to wait for check-in to open.

The £184m project is Gatwick's largest capital investment by its new owners.

The Old must go before any New can come in.
