Source: Gatwick article: North Terminal opened March 1988 with the shuttle train; British Caledonian, Dan-Air, Air Europe and Virgin based here; Bermuda II sends US cities such as Atlanta, Houston and Dallas to Gatwick. The runway was extended in 1964, 1970 and 1973 (read; the lengths were stripped by the page template): the present 3,316 m is used from 1973 so that the 747s of British Caledonian and Virgin can fly. Throughput estimated.
