Gatwick Airport has said operations are "returning to normal" after four days of fog-related flight restrictions. Temporary air traffic restrictions that were in place over the weekend have been lifted after the weather improved.

Thousands of passengers at Gatwick Airport are facing delays for a fourth day in a row after severe fog led to widespread disruption over the Christmas period. More than 20 flights set to leave the airport today have been cancelled in advance while passengers have been told to expect delays.

Between Boxing Day and Sunday, of the 29 flights to Gatwick, 10 were cancelled and many of the rest of the flights were heavily delayed due to fog at Guernsey and later around Gatwick, which was particularly badly affected on Sunday.

Tens of thousands of passengers have had their Christmas travel disrupted in recent days as thick fog has descended on airports.
