GATWICK will cancel around 82 departures over the coming week because of short-term sickness and Covid in the air traffic control tower.
Airport boss Stewart Wingate said he was “very frustrated” by a series of problems at Gatwick’s air traffic control.
Around 30 percent of air traffic control staff are not available, Mr Wingate said.
The largest number of cancellations will be on Friday 29 September, with 33 departures affected. bbc.com
