Very impressive 4k video. This is London Gatwick Airport . The footage was filmed in early February 2022 few days before storm Eunice covered Great Britain.
Gatwick Airport also known as London Gatwick IATA: LGW, ICAO: EGKK, is a major international airport near Crawley, West Sussex, England, 29.5 miles (47.5 km) south of Central London.
Gatwick opened as an aerodrome in the late 1920s; it has been in use for commercial flights since 1933. The airport has two terminals, the North Terminal and the South Terminal, which cover areas of 98,000 m2 (117,000 sq yd) and 160,000 m2 (190,000 sq yd) respectively. It operates as a single-runway airport, using a main runway with a length of 3,316 m (10,879 ft). A secondary runway is available but, due to its proximity to the main runway, can only be used if the main runway is not in use. In 2018, 46.1 million passengers passed through the airport, a 1.1% increase compared with 2017
Gatwick operates as a single-runway airport although it has two runways; the northern runway (08L/26R) can only be used when the main runway (08R/26L) is out of use for any reason.
The airport is a base for scheduled airlines British Airways (BA), EasyJet, Wizz Air, and charter operators such as TUI Airways. By late 2015, EasyJet flew over 100 routes from Gatwick with a fleet of more than 60 aircraft.
The South Terminal has 32 gates. The North Terminal has 33 gates, including one that can support an Airbus A380.
In 2015, Gatwick became the first single-runway airport to handle more than 40 million passengers annually.
