Thousands of people have been hit by flight cancellations and airport delays this summer.
Around 26 EasyJet flights in and out of Gatwick have been cancelled at short notice, with the airport blaming staff sickness.It came as Gatwick reported its half-year results, which said it was "now very much operating business as usual".The industry has struggled with staff shortages as demand for air travel has rebounded after the pandemic.
A spokesperson said: "At 7am, 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. Earlier in the summer, Gatwick recruited 400 extra security staff to try to ease queues over the holidays., which it said would help passengers "experience a more reliable and better standard of service".
