How have you been affected by the delay at Gatwick airport?

Gatwick’s runway has reopened and a limited number of planes have arrived and departed, after the airport was shut for almost 36 hours by drone sightings overhead.

Travel plans of thousands of passengers have been affected after sightings of drones were first reported on Wednesday evening. Chris Woodroofe, the airport’s chief operating officer, apologised to passengers and said they could not be shot down because of the risk of stray bullets causing harm.

If you’ve been affected by the events at Gatwick and would like to share eyewitness accounts or news tips, we’d like to hear from you.
