Smartphone tour is first for UK

Gatwick passengers can track progress of Gatwick's £1bn investment programme by scanning barcodes with their smartphone.  The south London operation is the first airport to interact with passengers using the “stickybits” mobile application.

Gatwick Airport is currently undergoing a major upgrade to modernise the facilities and improve the passenger experience.  While most of the work is out of sight, hidden behind hoardings, passengers who have downloaded the free “stickybits” application can now go on a coded ‘Gatwick Discovery Tour’ and take an audiovisual peek behind the scenes to see how the airport is changing.

Gatwick is kicking the ‘Discovery Tour’ off at the North Terminal inter-terminal shuttle departure point.  Over the coming weeks and months, more barcodes will be introduced at check-in and just after security in the North Terminal as well as the forecourt areas and immigration in the South Terminal.  Locations will be changed and the content refreshed to keep the tour interesting and up-to-date. www.gatwickairport.com
