Drones cause holiday chaos at one of London's busiest airports

Drones spotted over the UK's second-busiest airport have halted flights for hours, heavily disrupting the holiday travel of tens of thousands of passengers. Flights at London's Gatwick airport currently can't take off or land, and airport authorities have said that 110,000 passengers on 760 flights are scheduled to fly today. The delays have been ongoing since yesterday evening, and though operations briefly resumed at around 3 AM, they were halted about an hour later when the drone was spotted again. Two drones were spotted flying "over the perimeter fence and where the runway operates from," Airport operating chief Chris Woodroofe told BBC News. He condemned the "irresponsible" actions of the drone operators, saying it could take days for normal operations to resume at the airport's busiest time of the year.
