Flights resume after
spillage causes flight delays, diversions at Gatwick airport; knock-on effects
expected
Gatwick airport was closed
to all flights earlier today due to an oil spillage on the runway. No planes
were able to leave the airport since the runway was closed at about 10.15 this
morning, and some inbound flights were also diverted. Other flights were been
forced to remain in the air, and were given priority to land once the runway
was cleared and safety checks were carried out. The airport reopened just after
11.30pm, but a spokesperson warned there would be residual delays to outbound
flights.
