Every departure from London Gatwick is covered by UK261 — £220, £350 or £520 per passenger depending on distance — whatever the airline. Gatwick is the world's busiest single-runway airport, so ATC flow restrictions and weather are the most common defences; BA belongs to CEDR; easyJet, TUI and Wizz Air to AviationADR.

Care and re-routing when leaving London
Delayed at the gate: meals, refreshments and two calls or e-mails from 2 h of delay on flights up to 1,500 km, 3 h up to 3,500 km (and on every intra-EU flight over 1,500 km), 4 h beyond — plus a hotel and transport when the departure moves to the next day. Owed whatever the cause.
Cancelled or denied boarding: the choice between a refund of the unused ticket within 7 days and re-routing to your destination at the earliest opportunity or on a later date of your choosing, with care while you wait.
Delayed 5 h or more: you may give up the journey and take a full refund of the unused ticket, with a return flight to your departure point if the trip has lost its purpose.
Gatwick runs the busiest single runway in the world. When fog, wind or ATC staffing cuts the arrival rate, the delay cascades through every rotation for the rest of the day — and a knock-on delay is only extraordinary when the first cause in the chain was.

Cosa è successo al suo volo?
Why Gatwick delays are different
Gatwick operates a single runway at very high utilisation. When fog, wind or ATC staffing cut the arrival rate, delays cascade across easyJet’s and BA Euroflyer’s rotations. Airlines regularly cite “ATC restrictions” for these; they must prove the specific restriction and that they could not have avoided the delay (for example by using a spare aircraft or crew). Knock-on delays later in the day are only extraordinary if the original cause was.
Airlines at Gatwick
- easyJet (UK, Europe and Switzerland entities) — AviationADR member.
- British Airways / BA Euroflyer — CEDR member.
- Wizz Air UK — AviationADR member.
- TUI Airways — AviationADR member; package holidays also carry Package Travel Regulations rights.
- Vueling, Norwegian, Aer Lingus, Emirates, Qatar Airways — covered on departures; escalation via the CAA’s PACT team where no ADR scheme applies.
Connections
Gatwick is largely point-to-point. If you booked two separate tickets (for example easyJet into Gatwick and Norwegian out), a delayed first flight that makes you miss the second is not covered — only the first flight’s own delay counts.
Escalation
Claim from the airline first; then CEDR/AviationADR or the CAA PACT team; then the county court within 6 years.
