New Gatwick owner slammed over snow closures
18.01.10
The new owner of Gatwick Airport has been criticised for its handling of the facility after it was twice closed for long periods due to snow and freezing temperatures this month. Airlines have questioned why nearby Heathrow Airport was able to stay open - with a lessened capacity - throughout the recent freeze.
Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which bought Gatwick for £1.5 billion last month, said that during the heaviest day of snow about 438 flights were cancelled. Some airlines have questioned why it reportedly only has two snow ploughs, when other similar sized airports in Europe have many more.
