Gatwick Airport which is the second largest airport was shut for nearly 36 hrs after a drone plane was sighted on the runway on Wednesday night. It was completely closed on Thursday and opened on Friday. However it was closed for another few hours on Friday evening after another drone was sighted.
It was complete chaos at the airport on the busiest week/ weekend getaway of the year and more than 150,000 passengers were affected and one of them was a friend of mine.
A man and a woman were arrested last night on the suspicion of criminal acts and it is yet to be cleared the purpose of this act.
If it was intentional then there is definitely something wrong with the mental state of those involved as they do not care and have no concern about the elderly, children and human beings in general. There was a lady with metastatic cancer who had to sleep at the airport in the cold and something untoward could have happened.
It this was accidental then UK govt might consider changing the laws on flying drones.
Let’s wait and see.
The services have resumed to almost normal today and the authorities are dealing with backlogs.
Have a great Christmas weekend.
