Gatwick Airport drones: Flights at London’s Gatwick Airport suspended again
Sussex Police arrested individuals in connection with the criminal use of drones that severely disrupted flights at Gatwick Airport. Despite the resumption of flights after a 70-minute suspension, delays are expected to continue. Over 50 drone sightings have been reported since Wednesday, and the incident is not believed to be terrorism-related. The disruption has affected around 120,000 passengers, with many Australians stranded. The Ministry of Defence has provided specialist equipment to assist police. The incident has led to a spike in insurance inquiries from affected travelers. Flying a drone near an airport is illegal in Britain and poses a significant risk to commercial aviation.
