London’s Gatwick Airport remained shut down Thursday, disrupting 110,000 people’s journeys.
One of the UK’s busiest airports had to suspend or divert all flights after drones were seen over its airfield.
The disruption at Gatwick Airport, which is 30 miles south of London and Britain’s second busiest, started around 9 p.m. local time Wednesday after a pair of drones were spotted, according to the BBC .
The runway remained closed until 3 a.m., but was shut down again 45 minutes later after “a further sighting of drones.” It was still closed as of Thusday morning and police are hunting for the drones’ operator, Chris Woodroofe, Gatwick’s chief operating officer, told the BBC.
