The London skyline is bustling with air traffic, as the city hosts six international airports. Among them, London Gatwick Airport (LGW) stands as the second-busiest after Heathrow. Despite having two runways, Gatwick can only use one at a time due to their proximity, making it the world's second-busiest single-runway airport.
Gatwick serves more destinations than any other UK airport and is a base for airlines like EasyJet and British Airways. According to data from Cirium, Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport in Spain tops the list of European destinations with 376 flights scheduled from Gatwick in May 2025. This Spanish destination is popular among tourists for its sunny beaches and cultural attractions.
Data reveals that Spain dominates as a preferred destination for travelers flying out of Gatwick, with six out of fifteen top destinations located there. Italy and Turkey follow with two destinations each in the top 15 list.
