London Gatwick has teamed up with AccessAble to introduce a collection of custom Detailed Access Guides. These guides are designed to assist travelers in navigating the airport with greater ease, safety, and confidence.
Available for free, these guides detail 30 distinct sections of London Gatwick, encompassing both departure and arrival zones, parking facilities, and the train station. They offer comprehensive details on various aspects such as types of flooring, signage, lighting and noise conditions, barrier-free access, distances to walk, available seating, and facilities for accessible restrooms, among other features.
Incorporating factual data, metrics, and imagery, these guides have been meticulously verified on location by AccessAble’s expert surveyors, who are leaders in delivering detailed accessibility information.
Anna-Ruth Cockerham, Accessibility Manager, London Gatwick said: “September and October are typically our busiest months for welcoming passengers who require some extra assistance, so we are delighted to launch our new Detailed Access Guides to help make those journeys through the airport easier.
“We know everyone’s accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. These guides will help London Gatwick achieve its vision to be the airport for everyone, whatever your journey.”
Dr Gregory Burke, Founder and Executive Chair, AccessAble said: “We are delighted to work in partnership with London Gatwick to launch Detailed Access Guides at the airport. This crucial information will enhance the experience of the hundreds of thousands of passengers requiring assistance who travel through Gatwick each year. The AccessAble website offers the opportunity to create real change in the way that disabled people travel, and we hope this exciting programme with London Gatwick, one of the most important transport hubs in the UK, represents a significant moment on this journey.”
