Tower! Simulator 3: EGKK Airport

The Tower! Simulator 3 - EGKK Airport DLC was developed by Nyerges Design and published by FeelThere. It was released on 15 July 2024 as part of the ongoing series of airport expansions for Tower! Simulator 3. The DLC remains a Windows-only expansion, with no official ports to consoles or other platforms announced.

This expansion brings a simulation of London Gatwick Airport (ICAO: EGKK) into the game — the secondary international airport serving London. The in-game version models Gatwick’s single-runway (with secondary runway available under certain conditions) layout and its two main terminals: North and South. Players as air traffic controller must manage arrivals and departures, coordinate taxiway and apron movements, direct gate assignments, and handle the mixed domestic and international traffic typical of a major UK airport.

When promoted, EGKK was presented as a realistic and compact BUT demanding alternative to the largest global hubs: the marketing emphasised Gatwick’s status as a heavily trafficked airport serving London, its international spread of destinations, and the challenge of managing a busy single-runway airport with tight scheduling and efficient ground operations. The DLC was pitched as especially appealing for players interested in realistic ATC service in a European airport setting, balancing complexity with geographic familiarity for UK and European players.

At launch, the community feedback was sparse — the Steam listing showed only two user reviews. With so few reviews, no definitive consensus emerged regarding user satisfaction or the quality of the simulation. That said, for players looking for a moderately busy yet manageable airport environment — particularly a European airport with global connections — EGKK remains a relevant and potentially satisfying addition to Tower! Simulator 3’s roster of airports.
