✈️ Gatwick Airport plans to add a second runway, costing approximately €2 billion, with no public funding. This runway will be moved 12 meters north and used exclusively for takeoffs. The project aims to nearly double passenger capacity, requiring terminal expansions. Currently, Gatwick, London's second airport, serves global destinations and operates as the main base for EasyJet and Norse. Heathrow's congestion has prompted Gatwick's expansion, including long-haul routes to China, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Ryanair: viajar por dos duros

🛫 Ryanair offers cheap flights, like €15 for two-hour trips without luggage. Before Ryanair and EasyJet, flying in Europe was costly, often ten times more, especially on flagship airlines like Iberia and Air France. Airports like Girona, Orio, Beauvais, and Ciampino have particularly low prices. While major airports like Madrid and El Prat can be slightly more expensive, low-cost travel is accessible without subsidies, except in some smaller airports like Vigo or Asturias.
