The airport will raise scheduled runway capacity from 55 to 57 movements per hour after ATC and airfield efficiency upgrades.

Briefing
Gatwick’s reported passenger and revenue growth underpins planned network and capacity expansion for 2026 and follows the airport’s recent operational build‑up into a busier summer schedule ([source:50e50d8c-2a20-48b1-a6cc-874d8e7dd2a4]).
Raising scheduled runway capacity from 55 to 57 movements/hour after ATC and airfield efficiency upgrades will directly affect slot cadence and airline scheduling decisions at a constrained UK airport system ([source:f55f47d1-4b7b-46d5-ae1d-ce33706994b6]).
The simultaneous mention of softer traffic volumes and profits tempers near‑term commercial upside and connects to broader carrier network and hub strategy shifts in the market, including recent IAG signals on Gatwick strategy ([source:7640ab1d-af3c-4c7b-959d-41322ef38664]).
