List of delayed and cancelled flights at Gatwick and Heathrow airports as travel chaos continues

Flights were cancelled or delayed from Gatwick and Heathrow airports on Monday (September 9) after a combination of bad weather and air-traffic control staff shortages.

Monday’s disruption came after dozens of flights were cancelled over the weekend due to staffing issues at air traffic control (ATC) provider Nats.

At least 100 flights were cancelled on Sunday evening at Gatwick, and others ran extremely late. British Airways also cancelled dozens of flights to and from Heathrow Airport on Sunday due to wet weather.

It was the third incident of mass cancellations due to staff shortage in the Gatwick control tower in less than a year.

According to the Standard, a total of 11 outbound flights that were due to leave Gatwick on Monday were cancelled, while further inbound flights are also understood to have been grounded, said the airport.

Easyjet was said to be the worst-affected airline, with flights from Gatwick to Naples, Montpellier, Jersey, and Edinburgh among those cancelled on Monday.

An Easyjet spokesperson said it was “doing all possible” to minimise the impact.

“The knock-on impact of NATS air traffic control staffing shortages at Gatwick yesterday has resulted in some flights to and from Gatwick Airport this morning being unable to operate,” said a spokesperson on Monday.

“We are extremely disappointed that customers are once again being impacted by this and while this is outside of our control, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

“We are doing all possible to minimise the impact of the disruption and have notified those on cancelled flights of their options to rebook or receive a refund and are providing hotel accommodation and meals where required.”
