Air traffic control tower is now "fully staffed", Gatwick Airport says.

Air traffic controllers are at fault for a shortage of staff at the airport.

The disruption comes just over two weeks after a technical issue at Nats led to 2,000 flights being cancelled.

EasyJet chief executive Johan Lungdren said persistent staff shortages had "plagued the industry".
