The London airport will invest more than £250 million to reduce its carbon emissions by 2030, by moving to an electric vehicle fleet and replacing gas boilers and refrigerants with low carbon alternatives.

The airport will also continue to reduce overall energy use, invest in on-site renewable energy and source renewable electricity through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

The announcement came as part of the airport’s 2022 financial results, which saw Gatwick return to profit of £196.5 million after more than £830 million of losses from 2020 and 2021.
