On Saturday morning, Gatwick Airport's North Terminal was evacuated due to a fire alarm activation in a retail unit within the departure lounge. Although there was no fire, the situation caused significant disruption, with passengers expressing confusion about their safety and the lack of announcements. Some were stuck behind security, raising concerns on social media. The evacuation concluded around 8:30 AM, allowing passengers to re-enter the terminal. Flights continued normally afterward, despite initial speculation linking the incident to a passenger attempting to vape.
