The ground floor will house new check-in halls, while on the first floor there will be a large departure lounge, featuring a glass roof.
Gatwick's departure lounge used to be one of the most prominent places where these unannounced raids were conducted with increasing regularity.
The domestic and international departure lounges and the majority of the retail outlets are on level 2 (first floor).
This announcement seems to have overlapped with "please wait in the departure lounge".
Close to 1,000 surveys were handed out to travellers waiting in the departure lounge.
It is no good their standing staring at the great tide of passengers coming down the gangplank or into the departure lounge.
This means that there have to be limits on the sales activities which can be carried on in the departure lounge of an international airport.
The company wishes to have a facility in the departure lounge, and it is this desire which gives rise to the problem.
