The Sussex airport has capped daily aircraft movements at around 800 until Sunday (1 October) to avoid last-minute delays and cancellations. There were 800 movements scheduled for Tuesday, 829 on Wednesday, 840 on Thursday, 865 on Friday, 800 on Saturday and 830 on Sunday.
“This has been a difficult decision but the action we have taken today means our airlines can fly reliable flight programmes, which gives passengers more certainty that they will not face last minute cancellations,” said Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate.
