Dozens of easyJet flights have been cancelled at Gatwick Airport due to “late notice” staff sickness.
Around 26 flights in and out of Gatwick have been cancelled this morning at short notice due staff sickness in air traffic control.
Gatwick Airport has apologised to passengers affected.
The airline said those affected by the cancellations would be contacted by them and given an alternative flight or a refund.
A Gatwick Airport spokeswoman said: “At 07.00am, 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.”
