Delays at London Gatwick: what to know

London Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. It is easyJet's biggest base, and British Airways and Wizz Air also fly from here. Gatwick handles a very high number of flights from essentially one runway, so a morning disruption tends to ripple through the whole day, especially in summer. Departures are covered by UK261; flights from the EU into Gatwick are covered by EU261 when the airline is European.
