Since then the airline has grown to become Gatwick's largest and also easyJet's largest base on its entire network. The airline will operate 79 aircraft from the airport next summer and now serves over 120 routes across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

London Gatwick (LGW) is the largest base for easyJet globally, and in 2026, the airline typically stations approximately 60 to 80 aircraft at the airport at any given time. This number can fluctuate slightly based on seasonal demand—peaking during the summer holidays—and the airline's ongoing fleet modernization efforts as they transition to more fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo and A321neo models. EasyJet occupies a dominant position at Gatwick, particularly in the North Terminal, where they operate a massive network of over 100 destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Because Gatwick is a constrained, single-runway airport, easyJet’s large "stationed" fleet is critical for maintaining their high-frequency "shuttle" style schedule to popular cities like Nice, Amsterdam, and Geneva. This massive presence also means that easyJet is the primary contributor to Gatwick's status as a major low-cost hub, often accounting for nearly 40% to 50% of the airport's total daily flight movements during the peak travel season.
