Gatwick flights returning to normal after fog

Gatwick Airport has said operations are "returning to normal" after four days of fog-related flight restrictions. Temporary air traffic restrictions that were in place over the weekend have been lifted after the weather improved. More than 20 flights planned for the West Sussex airport on Monday were cancelled in advance to minimise any impact on passengers and allow for repositioning of aircraft. Flights at the UK's second busiest airport were disrupted between Friday and early on Monday morning because of fog. A spokesperson for Gatwick apologised for the delays and cancellations. An easyJet spokesperson added: "Unfortunately, a small number of flights this morning to and from London Gatwick were cancelled due to the knock-on impact of air traffic control restrictions from poor weather conditions yesterday. "The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is our highest priority, and while this is outside of our control, we would like to apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused." Anyone on flights delayed by more than two hours may be entitled to assistance, including food and drink or overnight accommodation if necessary.<br/>
