🏗️ History of the Gatwick ATC Tower:

Completed in 2000, the Gatwick Air Traffic Control Tower stands at an impressive 249 feet (76 metres), making it the tallest ATC tower in the United Kingdom. Designed to accommodate Gatwick’s expanding operations and increased air traffic, the tower provides controllers with a panoramic view of the entire airfield.

Its sleek, cylindrical shape and elevated control room have become a defining feature of the airport’s skyline. Operated by NATS (National Air Traffic Services), this tower oversees thousands of aircraft movements each week at one of Europe’s busiest single-runway airports.
