Gatwick Airport Running Low on Fuel Amid Flight Fears

Gatwick Airport is reportedly running low on fuel, raising fears that flights could be delayed or cancelled during the peak of the British summer travel season. The concern centers on the UK’s second-busiest airport, where long-haul departures are said to be most at risk if the shortage persists. Reports on Monday said the scale of the problem and how long it might last were unclear. Passengers scheduled to depart from the Sussex hub were urged to check their flight status directly with their airline before traveling. Gatwick typically handles its highest volumes in August, meaning any prolonged disruption could spill over into wider UK holiday plans.
