I'm on an LGW-JER flight tomorrow, so watching this closely, just wondering how likely it is that there'll still be a backlog tomorrow evening, even if they manage to get this under control. Friends flying today on easy jet to barcelona have been moved to bristol airport tomorrow.

I'm curious if BA will just keep cancelling flights particularly just to locations that are only served by LGW, or will they actually shift some to LHR or other airports?


Really can't see how the application of helicopter + shotgun couldnt have this sorted fairly quickly. I also know some guys that love drone racing, could probably pay them a couple of quid and have them just crash the other ones out of the sky, so I suspect there's a wider plan here of not just knocking them out but keeping them doing it long enough to track down the culprits.
