MP backs multi-millon investment at Gatwick Airport

MP Henry Smith said the new maintenance facility by airline Boeing would be a ‘further economic boost for Crawley’.

He said: “At a time when the UK is looking out towards the rest of the world, this facility will also add maintenance capacity at Gatwick to support airlines as the airport continues to grow in both short and long haul services.

“The project at Gatwick would strengthen a joint commitment made between the UK Government and Boeing on a long-term initiative for prosperity and growth in Great Britain.”
