Gatwick Airport suffers second water outage within a month | News UK

Gatwick Airport has been left without a water supply for the second time this summer during peak travel season.

The UK’s second busiest airport has been gripped by another water outage just weeks after every restaurant at the hub was forced to close in July after water ran out.

While flights are currently unaffected, some passengers have reported being turned away from restaurants due to the problem.

Gatwick confirmed this afternoon that a problem with the water company SES Water’s supply is affecting the airport.

One passenger claimed online that ‘all toilets are closed and all restaurants, bars, cafes are not operating, no hot food or drinks available anywhere.’

He added that there are ‘no notices’ about the issue anywhere at the airport.

Gatwick Airport said: ‘A water issue is causing some disruption in the local area. The problem is affecting water supply in both terminals and is currently under investigation by SES Water.

‘At present, there has been no impact on flights. We will provide further updates and apologise for any inconvenience to passengers.’
