伦敦盖特威克机场

简介伦敦盖特威克机场（英语：London Gatwick Airport；IATA：LGW；ICAO：EGKK），台湾作伦敦盖威克机场，港澳作伦敦格域机场。以乘客流量计算，盖特威克机场是英国第二大机场（仅次于伦敦希思罗机场）。它亦是全球最繁忙的单跑道机场，以及乘客量计全球第六最繁忙的机场等。机场以北39公里达大伦敦威斯敏斯特市，以南37公里达布赖顿-霍夫。2005年，盖特威克机场接待超过3260万名乘客，航线所及的目的地超过200个。由于希斯罗机场一般情况下并不准许航空公司经营包机服务，不少提供包机服务的航空公司都因此改为使用盖特威克机场作为基地。希斯罗机场对跨大西洋航线的限制亦令盖特威克机场拥有不少来往美国的航班。英航及维珍航空都以盖特威克机场为第二航运中心。

盖特威克机场拥有两条跑道，但平日只有使用08R/26L跑道。另一条跑道（08L/26R）只会在紧急或维修时使用。

历史意外

1959年2月17日，一架属于土耳其航空公司的维克斯子爵式客机（Vickers Viscount）在降落盖特威克机场时于Horley附近坠毁，撞毁一些树及冲入了一间屋。机上22位人士只有10位生还。其中一位生还者是当时的土耳其首相孟德瑞斯（Adnan Menderes）。

1969年1月5日，阿里亚纳阿富汗航空公司（Ariana Afghan Airlines）一架编号701由德国法兰克福国际机场起飞的航班，于盖特威克机场尝试在低能见度的情况下降落时，因副翼延伸的幅度不够大，在最后进场时速度太低，不能保持飞行，结果冲入一间房屋。66位机上人员中有50位死亡，地面上亦有2名人士死亡。
