Delays have been reported at Gatwick Airport after technical problems at the national air traffic control centre.
A fault at the National Air Traffic Services (Nats) have caused hold-ups at airports across the country today.
Gatwick has not been as badly affected as some other airports.
An airport spokesman said: "With spare capacity at the airport today, it has allowed for flexibility and resilience within the schedule.
"Coupled with that, we are working closely with our airline partners to ensure that disruption to passengers is kept to a minimum and extra staff is on hand to provide information and assistance."
Passengers should check the status of their flight with their airlines and check for live updates at @Gatwick_Airport on Twitter.
