Flights from London's Gatwick Airport were again suspended on Friday (21) due to a hint of drones. The information was given by an airport spokesman at the British BBC channel.
According to the English newspaper "The Guardian", the airport announced that it "temporarily suspended" its operations while information was reporting a drone.
A spokesman for Gatwick said the flights had been suspended due to an "alleged observation of a drone". Flights to Gatwick are also waiting to be booked.
Thursday (20), the airport was closed for 36 hours due to the same problem and only reopened on Friday morning (21).
Thousands of pbadengers were waiting to board at the airport located south of London, the second busiest in the UK, while the police were still looking for the drone operator.
The police rejected the hypothesis of terrorism and felt that an environmental activist might have caused chaos. On Wednesday evening, the track was closed after flying over the drone, but was reopened. Shortly after, other equipment flying over the airspace were seen, forcing the suspension of activities until this morning.
Police reported that the equipment, considered unusually large, was observed more than 50 times in 24 hours. Superintendent Jason Tingley said the authorities felt that they may have been "adapted and developed" to weaken the operation of the airport.
Thousands of pbadengers have suffered the consequences of the shutdown. Only Thursday (20), about 110 000 pbadengers had to pbad through the terminal, 760 flights being planned (between arrivals and departures). Many had to spend the night at the airport, covered only with their coats.
British law prohibits the use of drones within the 1km perimeter of airports. The devices must not exceed 122 meters above sea level.
"These drones flew illegally and the law is unclear because it endangers the safety of aircraft and can be punished with up to five years in prison" said spokeswoman Theresa May. 19659011] Pbadengers wait at the north terminal of London Gatwick Airport, south of London on Thursday (20) – Photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP "title =" Pbadengers are waiting at the North Terminal of the airport from London Gatwick, south of London, on Thursday (20) – photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP "src =" data: image / jpeg; base64, / 9j / 4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD / 2wBDAAMCAgMCAgMDAwMEAwMEBQgFBQQEBQoHBwYIDAoMDAsKCwsNDhIQDQ4RDgsLEBYQERMUFRUVDA8XGBYUGBIUFRT / 2wBDAQMEBAUEBQkFBQkUDQsNFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBT / wgARCAARABkDASIAAhEBAxEB / 8QAGQAAAwADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYHBAUI / 8QAFgEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAC / 9oADAMBAAIQAxAAAAGT72f1U3g0ZLeI5gowRT24I // EAB4QAAIBBAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQFAwABBhYCEDMS / 9oACAEBAAEFAlrycSPbmRFLnBdi / pLQ3Ecq8KsyQe2MgmMteCqDxxj3Rdf / xAAZEQA DAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAREQEiH / 2gAIAQMBAT8B2b5Six // xAAZEQEAAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABABEQITH / 2gAIAQIBAT8BoNyiPMf / xAAvEAABAgQCBA8AAAAAAAAAAAABAgMABBESEyEQIjFBIzIzNFFSYXSBgpGSk7HB / 9oACAEBAAY / AmKvYbN6bsAa6E76QmrzswlKiqhGfGyJhapkqDDicrjTfTdtjnU78i4ViuqaNhO0ekN1caEyjqrTllqg9PjFrTznAUvSrWB7KiOSPuMKiY8n1E93j8Gj / 8QAIRAAAgIBBAIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAREhMQAQQXGxUcGBofD / 2gAIAQEAAT8hJg3wrBJgQ8vlYZlfjCmhUhDZnbDFwF8EjEJCVpNF0zQfl6wcCzcgTQsgFUJrJ / dO5zABuM / De87ufW7M72h / / 9oADAMBAAIAAwAAABC3EB7 / xAAaEQACAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAERBRQXHw / 9oACAEDAQE / EEOKHsz1H // EABgRAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAETFx / 9oACAECAQE / EEWizdDVuXsX / 8QAHhABAQEAAgMAAwAAAAAAAAAAAREhADEQQbGhwfD / + 2gAIAQEAAT8QdT4cpgQdyVI1qcuVlH1WABA0iTelRy5Ib7KD1pz g / fISpSTHvlVyGvnBi4QD7Mow6kUgqw0A3RIsp0TL7OuJPxvjxN6eLf / 2Q == "Pbadengers expect north terminal of & # 39; London Gatwick Airport, south of London on Thursday (20) – Photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP "title =" Pbadengers are waiting at the north terminal of London Gatwick Airport, south of London, Thursday (20) – Photo: Glyn Kirk / AFP "data-src =" https : //s2.glbimg.com/KlVegPU5mv08lXdNrsIJl6cdZYk=/0x0: 4928×3280 / 1008×0 / smart / filters: strip_icc () /i.s3.glbim.
