A further 60 flights from London Gatwick had to be cancelled on Wednesday evening due to a shortage of air traffic controllers, it has emerged.
Worst-affected was easyJet, with 42 cancellations.
Some 9,000 passengers were grounded when temporary air traffic control restrictions were put in place on Wednesday due to ‘short notice staff sickness’.
Other airlines affected included Iberia Express, Lufthansa, Norwegian and Vueling.
The cancellations follow days of chaos after the UK’s air traffic control system, managed by NATS, shutdown for four hours on Bank Holiday Monday.
