🏗️ History of the Gatwick ATC Tower:

Commissioned in 2000, the Gatwick ATC Tower rises to 249 feet (76 metres), making it the tallest air traffic control tower in the United Kingdom. Built to meet the needs of a growing airport, the tower gives air traffic controllers full visibility over Gatwick’s single-runway layout — one of the busiest in the world.

Its modern, cylindrical design has become a recognisable part of the airport’s skyline, symbolising Gatwick’s evolution into a major global transport hub. Operated by NATS (National Air Traffic Services), this control tower plays a crucial role in coordinating thousands of daily aircraft movements.
