Runway Ice Disrupts Flights at Gatwick Airport

Written by Casey

Gatwick Airport’s runway was closed this morning at 06.50 due to what airport officials described as “exceptional weather conditions”.

Essential maintenance and de-icing works are taking place, and the runway will be reopened as soon as it is safe to do so.  In the meantime, approximately 60 inbound and outbound flights have been affected, with a number of flights being diverted to other airports.

As expected, anyone travelling today has been advised to allow plenty of extra time for their journey to the airport and for checking-in.  Passengers should also check with their airline for the latest flight information.
