Flights from many of the major airlines are likely to be grounded this summer due to a significant cutting back of Gatwick Airport 's schedule.
The travel hub is set to reduce the number of daily flights to help tackle issues over staffing after a number of last-minute cancellations caused havoc for holidaymakers.
The airport, the UK's second busiest, will limit daily take-offs and landings to 825 in July and 850 in August after the decision was taken following a review of its operations.
