# Stan at London Gatwick Airport: deployment

Canonical ID: `b3950748-c75a-4af9-9c9a-b67960591488`

Gatwick Airport Ltd signed a framework contract with Stanley Robotics for a Stan trial in the South Terminal long-stay parking, planned to start in the second half of 2019 and run into early 2020, with robots reclaiming density from conventional bays. It would have been the first UK airport test. Only announcement and planning coverage was found; there is no confirmation the trial ran to completion, so this is recorded as announced rather than operational.
