Tourists from abroad want to book flights to London. They probably don’t know what the London airports are called. As much as we complain about these “London” prefixes, they make perfect sense, especially for Gatwick.
Bingo!
Yes people in England know Gatwick, frequent flyers know Gatwick and the near neighbours (Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, Belgium) probably know Gatwick as well. But that is not the case for travellers from further away. Why do you think that every airport even remotely in the London area calls itself London ~~~. It’s very good marketing! Heck, at one time even Schiphol (in jest) called itself the third London airport!
