British Airways has said it will stop flying planes from Gatwick Airport as coronavirus travel restrictions hit operations.
The news comes a day after easyJet decided to ground its entire fleet thanks to the fallout from the global pandemic.
The carrier is one of many that are to stop serving the UK's second busiest airport due to the collapse in demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
A British Airways spokesman said: "Due to the considerable restrictions and challenging market environment, like many other airlines we will temporarily suspend our flying schedule at Gatwick.
"We are contacting affected customers to discuss their options."
The airline will keep equipment for essential functions at the airport, such as maintenance, towing and cleaning, to enable it to restart operations quickly.
The measures will be in place for a minimum of one month.
BA's boss warned earlier in March that the airline was in a battle for survival and would have to cut jobs and park planes, while its parent company IAG said flying capacity would be down 75% in April and May.
Gatwick Airport added that it will also close one of its two terminals.
Just 33 flights were due to take off or land at the West Sussex airport on Tuesday, according to aviation data provider FlightStats.
From Wednesday, Gatwick's runway will only be open for scheduled flights between 2pm and 10pm.
Airports are responding to the decision by airlines to suspend the majority of their flights due to demand plummeting and countries around the world introducing travel restrictions in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus.
London City Airport closed its runway to all commercial and private flights last week.
Southend Airport is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays between 4.30pm and 9.30pm.
