Jul 26, 2026

AI Summary

London Gatwick Airport has launched a robotic parking service, making it the first UK airport to offer this technology. Passengers can leave their cars in a private cabin, where autonomous robots will park them securely, allowing for quicker access to the terminal and improved parking efficiency.

The robotic parking service at Gatwick allows passengers to drop off their cars in a private cabin near the South Terminal.
After scanning their booking, passengers retain their keys while a robot parks the vehicle in a secure area.
The service is available for most standard passenger cars and must be booked in advance, with no same-day drive-up parking.
The system monitors flight details to have vehicles ready for collection upon return.
This technology aims to enhance customer experience and maximize parking capacity without the need for additional infrastructure.
Stanley Robotics, the company behind the technology, has implemented similar systems internationally, with Gatwick being its first UK airport deployment.
The service is designed to alleviate parking demand as Gatwick prepares for future growth.
