Now, just Delta and Norse Atlantic will operate from there and the reduced number of carriers is expected to have a huge knock-on effect for holidaymakers in south London, Sussex and Kent. Fares at Gatwick are likely to be pushed up, especially around peak periods, last-minute bookings and premium leisure dates. Heathrow, by contrast, will stay highly competitive with BA, American Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Delta running New York shuttles.

British Airways flight BA2203 declared a full emergency due to toxic fumes in the cabin, leading to a return to Gatwick after circling for 45 minutes.

BA has been fined over 3.2m after two handlers were injured in falls at Heathrow due to lack of safety measures on their equipment.
