About London Gatwick Airport
London Gatwick faces similar weather to Heathrow. Fog and winter storms cause most disruptions.
Is London Gatwick Airport turbulent?
Gatwick faces the same fog challenges as Heathrow. December 2024 saw four consecutive days of fog disruption with flights delayed 1-3 hours. The single-runway airport has less capacity to recover from weather delays. When visibility drops, NATS air traffic control reduces flow rates for safety, cascading delays across the schedule.
- December 2024: four consecutive days of fog disruption
- Single runway limits recovery from delays
- NATS reduces traffic flow when visibility drops
Why is Gatwick vulnerable to fog?
The airport sits in the Surrey countryside where radiation fog forms on clear, calm nights. A slow-moving high-pressure system in late 2024 created stagnant conditions that allowed fog to persist for days. Visibility dropped to 100 meters in some areas. The single-runway configuration means any capacity reduction has immediate impact.
When is the best time to fly from Gatwick?
Late spring (May-June) and summer offer the most reliable conditions. Autumn and winter fog season (November-February) brings the highest delay risk. Morning fog typically lifts by midday, so afternoon departures may be more reliable during fog-prone periods.
