Flights Resume At Gatwick Airport

British Airways said its flights were returning to normal after passengers had to endure cancellations, delays and long queues at London airports as the airline suffered its third major computer failure in a little more than two years.

London's Gatwick Airport resumed flights on Wednesday after closing its runway for nearly two hours due to "an air traffic control systems issue," it said.

Two people were arrested in connection with the "criminal use of drones" at London Gatwick Airport, police said today, after three days of disruption affected tens of thousands of passengers during the pre-Christmas getaway.

Flights resumed again on Friday at London Gatwick Airport after a new drone sighting, in a third day of Christmas getaway misery that has left tens of thousands of passengers stranded. Flights were briefly halted on Friday evening following what a Gatwick spokeswoman said was a "confirmed sighting of a drone" -- but resumed quickly afterwards.
