Yesterday we were thrilled to welcome the first-ever electric flight to land at London Gatwick! ✈️   Our incoming CEO Pierre-Hugues Schmit, COO Mark Johnston and members of the airport team were on site to witness the arrival of the Pipistrel Velis Electro and meet the inspiring young pilots leading the aircraft’s journey across France and South East England in VINCI Airports Elektro Tour.     This event marks an exciting innovation in the future of flight, and we’re proud to be part of the journey as electric aviation continues to evolve.      The arrival coincides with the delivery of 47 new electric vehicles to support airport operations, a key step toward our goal of transitioning London Gatwick’s entire 300-strong fleet to electric by 2030. 🚘   This new EV fleet forms part of the airport’s wider £250m plan to reach net zero for our own (Scope 1 and 2) emissions by the end of the decade.    Whether it’s hosting Europe’s first airport electric charging forecourt or using LED runway lighting and mains power so aircraft can plug in and turn off their engines, we’re proud to play our part in advancing sustainable aviation. Well done to the two incredible pilots and good luck with the rest of the Elektro Tour. 🙌
