Gatwick Family Measures Paying Off

Gatwick airports attempt to become the airport of choice for families appears to be paying off as figures show a 10% rise in family bookings. The airport has been making an effort to become more child friendly when it joined the family friendly institute earlier this year.

Such measures included games for children and reduced retail prices in the terminals. This would seem to have paid off as an estimated 7000 children meals will be served on British Airways flights flying out of Gatwick through July and August.

The youngsters will be given a Padddington Bear skyflyer pack to keep them busy during the flight. Gatwick Chief Exec Stewart Wingate commented the airport was going out of its way to make the journey through the airport more enjoyable.
