London Gatwick Airport is the second largest airport in the UK and pre-COVID-19 pandemic was home to over 50 airlines, flying to more destinations than any other UK airport, with over 46 million passengers passing through the airport every year.
As part of their commitment to give passengers the best experience, Gatwick Airport addressed their passenger communications. They enlisted BrightGen to bring disparate data into the Salesforce platform, which would also power their omni-channel marketing strategy.
