Turkey’s giant new hub, Istanbul Airport, hosted more than 40 million passengers, mainly using international flights, since opening its doors last year.
A 47-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman from the West Sussex town were arrested in connection with the drone intrusions that caused mayhem for tens of thousands of holiday travellers at London's Gatwick Airport.
Gatwick airport says it has reopened the runway after a confirmed sighting of a drone near the airfield on Friday evening. Gatwick was shut down all of Thursday and for several hours on Wednesday evening due to drone sightings.
Any problem at Gatwick causes a ripple effect throughout Britain and continental Europe, particularly during a holiday period when air traffic control systems are under strain.
With at least 75,000 passengers stranded and 800 flights cancelled, the IT failure could see profits take a hit.
Commuters used cars, boats, bicycles and buses to cope with a 24-hour walkout by underground station staff.
