Gatwick Drop Off

[Andy B]

Does anyone know what the passenger drop off arangements are at the south terminal following the incident at Glasgow 10 days ago?

I am not sure I would like to know. I have searched the site, but cant see any restrictions in place.

Found this on the Gatwick site:

Work is underway to re-design the forecourts at Gatwick South Terminal.
Passenger numbers at South Terminal are growing and so too are the number of vehicles accessing the terminal Forecourts.
Our aim is to create a safer and cleaner environment for passengers and airport staff, promote public transport and ease congestion. In order to achieve this we are changing the way vehicles access the terminal.
On June 20 2007 we will be implementing the changes to the forecourts in South Terminal.
What these changes mean for you?

Private vehicles
Private vehicles dropping off passengers will be directed to use the Lower Forecourt only. We are doubling the number of car park spaces on the Lower Forecourt to accommodate this move, including a special needs area.
Private vehicles picking up passengers will be directed to use Short Stay Car Park 3 (orange). A new tariff, which includes special needs parking in Short Stay Car Park 3 allows 15 minutes parking time at a cost of £1.

Saw that but it was in place before Glasgow, I wonder if there has been any change.

I would expect them to put any changes on the website. If in doubt give them a call - or just use the short stay car park.
