London Gatwick (LGW) is the UK's second-busiest airport and hosts a massive variety of over 60 airlines in 2026. The airport is the primary hub for easyJet, which operates the largest number of short-haul routes from the North and South terminals. Other major residents include British Airways, which operates a dedicated Gatwick "Euroflyer" subsidiary alongside long-haul routes, and Norwegian Air, which remains a dominant force for Nordic connections. In 2026, Gatwick has seen a surge in "long-haul low-cost" carriers like Jet2, Norse Atlantic Airways, and AirAsia X. You will also find full-service international giants like Emirates (which recently added a fourth daily A350 flight), Qatar Airways, and Air France. The airport's network has expanded significantly since 2019, now serving over 230 destinations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, making it a highly competitive alternative to Heathrow for both budget-conscious holidaymakers and high-end international business travelers.
