The upbeat cheer of the volunteers during the Olympics is being brought back to London Gatwick this Christmas.

The airport is bringing back a small team of the London Ambassadors between 17th December and 2nd January. They will be on hand to give help and advice during the airport’s busy holiday period.

Also joining them will be Santa and his reindeer, and some carol singers to get everyone in the festive spirit before they depart for their holidays.

The busiest day is expected to be Sunday 23rd December, with the airport handling 56,000 passengers.

Louisa Craven of Gatwick terminal operations said: “Staff and extra helpers, including the London Ambassadors who made such a great impression during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, will be on hand to assist at every stage to ensure our passengers enjoy a great experience at Gatwick with some fun, festive entertainment along the way.”
