What has happened at Gatwick airport why are planes not leaving?
Nobody wants to fly at Christmas.
It's over they are leaving.
Someone played with their drone to close to the Airport. Over 1,000,000 have had their Holiday plans disrupted. Not just the passengers but friends and family they were going to visit.
The crews Airport staff and thousands of others out hunting the offenders.
As planes at this time of year are full many will be stuck for days trying to get where they want to go. Many will loose their vacations because of this stunt.
The Airport has reopened. Extra planes to clear the passengers are not very many.
If you know the the Airport was closed to departing planes then you should have read the second sentence of your source for the reason why, NOT A BIG SECRET. It was headline news AROUND the world.
The cost to the Airlines for compensation for missed flights will just be passed on next year in higher Airline fares for everyone.
- I ordered a package a while ago, and the tracking number has not updated in two weeks? I ordered a tablet cord from a china on December 17th 2018. Two days later, the package was apparently sent to an airport to be shipped overseas. Ever since then, the tracking number hasn't updated. It's now January 3rd, 2019, not too long before the package should be arriving at my doorstep (Average from what I heard is 15-16 business days). Is this normal? Should I be worried that my package isn't being tracked? What should I do?
- Will Ryanair refund tickets when my son (although not flying) has been taken into hospital seriously ill? I was due to fly with Ryanair this week but my son has been taken into hospital so I can't go away (and other kids are all seriously ill at home with chronic diarrhoea. Plus I have had the same until today. Will Ryanair refund the costs? Or do I leave my partner to look after the kids and fly despite all the illnesses?
- Why didn't more planes crash at Hong Kong Kai Tak airport? It looked like a very dangerous airport with pilots having to fly close to mountains and high-rise buildings and making a sharp almost right angle turn to line with the runway manually. Why were there so few accidents and crashes? Why didn't more planes crash into the skyscrapers like on 9/11?
- Has it ever happened where an arriving plane had to take off immediately because there was no parking space at airport? Is it mandatory that all arriving planes have a parking space available? What IF it were to happen? What would be the solution?
