London’s Gatwick Airport reopened on Friday after a mystery saboteur wrought 36 hours of travel chaos for more than 100,000 Christmas travellers by using drones to play cat-and-mouse with police snipers and the army. AdvertisingSussex police made two arrests late on Friday in connection with the disruption and urged the public and passengers around the airport to remain vigilant. Gatwick, Britain’s second busiest airport, briefly closed again on Friday to investigate a new drone sighting but was soon operating as normal. Flights were halted at 2103 GMT on Wednesday after two drones were spotted near the airport. At 1740 GMT flights were suspended again but restarted less than an hour later.
