Gatwick Airport expansion images released

Gatwick Airport has released artist's impressions of its expansion plans

Gatwick Airport has released new images showing how the airport could look if expansion plans are approved.

Architect Sir Terry Farrell said his designs will eliminate queues and speed up passenger transit at the West Sussex airport.

The plan for a new runway at Gatwick is one of three options being considered by the Airports Commission.

It is expected to report within days on whether Gatwick or one of two scheme at Heathrow should be approved.

Sir Terry said a second runway at Gatwick would "turbocharge" economic growth in the South East in the same way the 2012 Olympics had benefited east London.

He said: "Our proposals for Gatwick are not just for another runway but an entirely new world-class airport for London and the UK."

Sir Terry Farrell said Gatwick could become "the world's most efficient two-runway airport"
