More than two dozen easyJet flights were cancelled at Gatwick on Tuesday morning (August 23). But the airport said it had returned to “business as usual”.
Twenty-six flights – 13 departures and 13 arrivals – had to be cancelled after not enough staff went in to work, the business said. It has now apologised to customers inconvenienced by the issue.
“Restrictions were put on the number of flights that can arrive into Gatwick due to late-notice staff absence in the airport’s control tower. Some flights throughout the day may unfortunately be delayed or cancelled as a result. Gatwick would like to apologise for any inconvenience this will cause to our passengers.”
