When the fog dissipates, many planes and pilots may be out of place due to the previous delays and cancellations, which is likely to bring further disruption to air travel.
A spokesperson for Nats, a provider of air traffic control services, added: “Our teams are working closely with the airports and airlines to minimise disruption, but passengers should check the status of their flight with their airline.”
There has been disruption at the UK’s busiest airport since Friday and it lasted over the weekend, when the airport expected its busiest day over the festive period.
At Gatwick on Sunday, around 30 departures and 28 arrivals were cancelled throughout the day.
Other airports around the UK, including Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff, were among the airports where flights were also disrupted on Friday and Saturday.
