The number of flights will be limited to 800 per day until Sunday. This maximum should ensure that flights do not have to be canceled at the last minute, resulting in delays for passengers, Gatwick boss Stewart Wingate said. He apologized for the “difficult decision”.
The airport said the total of 164 cancellations up to and including Sunday will be shared proportionately between the various airlines, with easyJet passengers hit hardest as the airline operates just under half of all Gatwick flights. so writes The Guardian.
