Gatwick will further subsidise the cost of on-site Covid testing provided at the airport by ExpressTest, with Fit to Fly lateral flow tests now available for £33.

There are two ExpressTest testing centres at Gatwick airport

ExpressTest operates two sites at Gatwick, a drive-in testing centre and a walk-in clinic in the North Terminal, with testing at both having been subsidised by the airport since last November.


However, the airport on Thursday (16 September) said it was aware the overall cost of testing was continuing to "act as a barrier to travel" for many families, which was also having a knock-on adverse effect on the aviation industry.
