London Gatwick and partners formally launch UK’s first ‘airport economic zone’ to stimulate growth

The Gatwick Region Airport Economic Zone (AEZ) - which launched at UKREiiF - the UK’s premier real estate, investment and infrastructure forum in Leeds – will help showcase the region and its strengths to investors and developers from around the globe.

Centred in the region surrounding London Gatwick, it represents 7% of the UK economy (£155bn GVA), greater than the combined economies of Northern Ireland and Wales (£123bn).

AEZs bring together airports and their surrounding regions collaboratively, to leverage the economic value of the airport and drive a clear identity to promote the unique strengths of the region and attract investment, benefitting both airports and the regional economies that surround them.
