Gatwick is promising a range of improvements as part of a £10 million overhaul of the North Terminal.
The project, due to be completed in early 2024, includes a modernised departure lounge with new flooring and contemporary seating.
All seats will have accessible power points, located in differentiated ‘mood zones’, allowing passengers to spend their pre-flight time relaxing, working or shopping.
The first major revamp of the departure lounge since its opening in 1988 started in late May.
The redevelopment is part of a wider multimillion-pound development scheme, which includes investment in the train station, modernisation and expansion across the airport.
Gatwick retail director Rachel Bulford said: “The redevelopment of our North Terminal is aligned with our refreshed brand and vision.
“The new features and layout will make the space easier for our passengers to find their way around and ensure they have a more enjoyable and efficient journey through the departure lounge.
“The varied seating areas, charging points and pleasant environment will also give passengers the freedom to spend more time doing what they want, whether they’re looking for a space to relax before their flight, do some shopping, sit down for a meal, or send some last-minute emails.
“It’s important that we create a unique sense of place for our passengers, not only through our retail and restaurant provision, but also the look and feel of the departure lounge.”
