Non-Believer Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 9 hours ago, swoopy2110 said: Gatwick cancelled tonight. IOM blaming slots at Gatwick. Someone who was on the aircraft at Gatwick said pilot said its due to IOM ATC .. Someone's lying anyway I was on the evening 21.05 Gatwick flight on Thursday, the incoming plane had arrived about 10 - 15 min late but there then seemed to be a hold up on off-loading and boarding. Boarding wasn't completed until 21.35, then came the announcement that due to congestion and ATC issues at Gatwick, the plane wouldn't be departing for a further 55 minutes. Got into Gatwick just after 11.30pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until easyJet wake up (or are persuaded to wake-up) to fact that they are incapable of operating the published schedule, and change it, this will continue.

Having used it Sunday evening from Gatwick it is clear Gatwick is oversubscribed, the place was heaving people were sitting on stairs, there was no chance of getting food. Too many people too many airlines, I shall avoid it like the plague in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
