LONDON - London's Gatwick Airport reopened on Friday for a limited number of flights, after mysterious drone sightings caused chaos that left tens of thousands of passengers stranded over the past three days. "Gatwick's runway is currently available and a limited number of aircraft are scheduled for departure and arrival," the airport said on Twitter. It advised passengers to check the status of their flights before travelling to the airport. Gisele Fenech, 43, who was travelling to Malta, was among those stranded at the airport. Under a new British law, drones cannot be flown near aircraft or within a kilometre of an airport, or at an altitude of over 400 feet (122 metres).
