London’s Gatwick Airport remains closed to flights after operations were suspended on Wednesday evening following reports of two drones flying over the airfield. In its latest statement, the airport said on Thursday: “All flights to and from Gatwick are suspended due to ongoing drone activity activity around the airport. Last night, passengers due to take off reported planes being stuck on the airport’s apron for more than an hour. What is the law around flying drones? Earlier this year, new laws came into force which ban all drones from flying above 400ft and within 1km (0.6 miles) of airport boundaries.
