🏗️ History of the Gatwick ATC Tower:

Opened in 2000, the Gatwick Air Traffic Control Tower stands at 249 feet (76 metres) and holds the title of the tallest ATC tower in the United Kingdom. Designed for full visibility over the airfield, it was constructed to meet the needs of one of the world’s busiest single-runway airports.

Operated by NATS (National Air Traffic Services), the tower’s modern, cylindrical design has become a defining feature of Gatwick’s skyline and a symbol of the airport’s efficiency and growth.
