Gatwick Airport has warned airlines that it has a shortage of jet fuel for the next two days after a technical fault affecting supply to the airport, and has told carriers to monitor fuel availability.
In a memo circulated to crews, the airport said: “For attention of all crews: Gatwick has a shortage of fuel for the next two days. Please uplift max possible fuel at outstations.”
A separate memo warned of a “potential disruption to the Gatwick fuel supply”.
A spokesperson for Gatwick said: “Following a technical issue impacting fuel supply to the airport, airlines have been advised to monitor fuel availability. We are working closely with external suppliers to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and minimise any potential disruption. All airlines are operating as normal.”
It is understood airport engineers are working to fix a technical problem at one of Gatwick’s fuel farms.
