Gatwick Airport has achieved its busiest ever June.  Long-haul growth has increased 24% year on year and it has, this week, been officially recognised as the European airport with the most new long haul routes in the last twelve months.  

Chinese carrier Tianjin Airlines arrived at the Gatwick last month, and routes to Hong Kong and Cape Town are due to start this Autumn.  North Atlantic routes at the airport grew 56% year on year in June.  Contributing to this North Atlantic growth were Toronto and Vancouver routes.  

European business destinations proving popular in June included Paris and Prague.
