A new traffic marshalling service will be starting at Gatwick Airport from April 21.
The service, which will be provided by Vinci Park, will help improve traffic flows and security around the airport, and will focus on perimeter roads and forecourts.
The new traffic marshals will provide assistance to the existing traffic wardens who enforce parking rules at Gatwick, helping to improve accessibility at terminals.
Fraser Brown, head of commercial transport at BAA Gatwick, said: “The safety and security of our passengers remains our number one priority.
“The new team of marshals will provide valuable support to the traffic wardens in maintaining the flow of traffic through our forecourts. By moving on any parked vehicles and freeing up valuable drop off bays, delays for passengers will be kept to a minimum.
“Marshals will redirect drivers who are not immediately dropping off passengers to our refurbished short stay car parks in order to prevent congestion. We are looking forward to working with Vinci to provide the best possible experience for our passengers.”
Work is currently underway at the airport’s South Terminal to redesign its forecourts.
