Flights resumed at London's Gatwick Airport on Friday after drones sparked about 36 hours of travel chaos including the shutdown of the airfield, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded or delayed during the busy holiday season.

The airport said in a statement that Gatwick's runway is "now available and aircraft are arriving and departing.”

"We are, however, expecting knock-on delays and cancellations to flights," it said. "If you are due to travel from Gatwick today, we strongly recommend that you check the status of your flight with your airline before departing for the airport."

...The prospect of a deadly collision between what police described as industrial-grade drones and an airliner led authorities to stop all flights in and out of Gatwick, Britain's second-busiest airport by passenger numbers, on Thursday. The drones were first spotted Wednesday evening.

So now, the first attack on a airport. And those in the know, who must know who did this, are keeping mum. So now they are conspirators in the attack.

You wanna know who can operate drones for days over an airport without getting caught or stopped by the authorities? Yeah, me too...I suspect a false flag orchestrated by the movers and shakers of the drone industry or a state sponsored method of sowing divide through chaos. I heard such methods were popular these days, cough cough Russia.

How is everyone enjoying your FPV demonetization today? Good times, right? My guys could take down all those drones within the time it takes to charge a lipo.

This incident is very revealing and the first thing we have learned is that the police and regulators are incompetent and unable to combat even basic drone threats, so what are those regulations going to do when they are powerless to enforce them? What an embarrassment...

This is the stuff right here that we have been dealing with for years. This is why experts doubt every drone story that comes out, because they have all proven to be bullshit in the end.

"There might never have been drone activity over Gatwick Airport, the police have said.

Flights were suspended for more than 36 hours when a device was reported to have been seen close to the runway on Wednesday night.

But Sussex Police are keeping an open mind in the investigation and said there might 'not have been any genuine drone activity in the first place'."
