Further lashings of snow throughout yesterday and last night have left Gatwick airport closed until tomorrow morning at the earliest and Edinburgh airport closed until 4pm. Southampton airport is also closed due to health and safety fears.
The weather has also caused delays at the majority of the other surrounding UK airports. Heathrow, Newcastle, Glasgow, Robin Hood, Aberdeen and London City airport are all operating this morning but have advised travellers to expect delays after a knock on effect will be felt from other closed airports.
Gatwick bosses described how they drafted in extra workers to clear the runways but the snow was settling faster than they could clear it. The decision was made as it became clear the runway was unsafe for aircraft to land or take off.
