Gatwick is one of the busiest single-runway airports in the world. Watch arrivals string out over Sussex and Kent in a tight, evenly spaced line at peak times.
Tracking a flight into LGW
Type the flight number from the ticket into Wingwait's search. You'll see the aircraft, its route arc, a progress bar and an estimated time to go. Set a landing alert to be pinged 30 minutes out and again at touchdown, and share the live link with anyone else who's waiting.
To see every flight between two airports, search a route like LGW-AMS or LGW to DUB.
Times are estimates from live position and speed. They don't account for holding, taxiing or gate delays. Check with the airline or airport for official arrival times.
Questions
Can I see live arrivals at London Gatwick on Wingwait?
Yes. The map shows aircraft on approach to LGW in real time. Wingwait doesn't show a scheduled arrivals board yet, so for official times check the airport's own website.
Why is a flight to LGW circling?
Aircraft often hold in a racetrack pattern when arrivals are busy or the weather slows things down. The solid trail shows the loops it has actually flown.
