Can’t be quite so congratulatory of the Gatwick ATC management yet again today. Flow rate restriction of 16 arrivals per hour. Absolutely shambolic.

Confirmed as a shortage of ATC staff by Gatwick airport twitter. Apparently short notice staff absence.

I believe your experience will be within the EU bases. In the UK a large number of FO’s have been leaving for BA/ Virgin/ Emirates this year. Certainly a higher amount than usual.
