Gatwick airport is the UK's second airport and in the top ten of the busiest international airports in the world. It is owned by BAA plc one of the most successful airport companies in the world. In 2001 Gatwick topped the 30 million passenger mark through its South and North Terminals.
The airport has two terminals and you can visit each of them. The virtual tour also offers access to BAA offices, airside facilities, the airfield and air traffic control tower as well as Servisair desk and operatons room, Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class lounge and aircraft, as well as Le Meridien Hotel.
A VIEW of Gatwick supports the GCSE for Applied Leisure and Tourism, offering examples and evidence which enables students to explore and investigate four dynamic businesses in the leisure sector. These are BAA, Virgin Atlantic, Servisair and Le Meridien Hotel.The virtual tour also provides some evidence in support of GCSE Applied Business, the work related curriculum at Key Stage 4, Careers Education and Citizenship.

The introduction and contact with Gatwick based employers was made possible through the support of the Sussex Education Business Alliance (SEBA) who also provided practical support and assistance in the collection of the data to make a VIEW of Gatwick.
