Here's the latest flight cancellation and delay news from Gatwick Airport.

Twenty-six easyJet flights have been grounded so far today [Tuesday, August 23]. Thirteen arrivals and 13 departures have been cancelled, out of a total of 180 easyJet flights scheduled for today.

A spokesperson for the airport said the flights were cancelled due to a staff shortage in air traffic control.

Earlier this year, the airport announced it will moderate its rate of growth for July and August by forcing airlines to cancel 4,000 summer flights.

Gatwick believes this action will then allow airlines to fly and manage more predictable and reliable flight programmes for the rest of the peak school summer holiday period.

The airport is ‘temporarily moderating’ the number of summer flights from 900 flights a day to 850 in August, according to the BBC.

This is so ‘passengers experience a more reliable and better standard of service’, Gatwick says.
