ITV News published this video item, entitled “Gatwick Airport cuts summer flights after Jubilee weekend chaos | ITV News” – below is their description.
Gatwick Airport is reducing the number of daily flights during its busy summer period to help tackle staffing issues.
The airport is planning to limit its number of daily flights to 825 in July and 850 in August compared to a reported 900 daily flights during the same time period in previous years.
It said the decision was taken following a review of its operations and that it is “temporarily moderating its rate of growth” for two months to help passengers “experience a more reliable and better standard of service”.
Gatwick added that the reduction allows airlines to manage more predictable timetables and help the ground handling companies during the school holidays, adding that the vast majority of scheduled flights this summer will operate as normal.
