Departures resume at London's Heathrow Airport after drone sighting
Jan 8 2019
"London's Heathrow Airport briefly halted departing flights on Tuesday after a reported drone sighting - a development that came just three weeks after multiple reports of drone sightings caused travel chaos at nearby Gatwick Airport.
The suspension of takeoffs from Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, was announced shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, a move the airport said was made as a safety precaution.
London's Metropolitan Police said it received a report about a drone “in the vicinity of Heathrow airport” at about 5:05 p.m. Police and airport officials were investigating the reported sighting, which was not confirmed.
Flights resumed roughly 90 minutes later."

Gatwick 'drone sighting' diverts flights
April 28 2019
"Three flights have been diverted after a possible drone sighting at Gatwick Airport.
EasyJet flights from Barcelona and Amsterdam were diverted to Stansted, as was a British Airways flight from Heraklion, Greece.
All three later landed at Gatwick more than 90 minutes after their scheduled arrival time.
Gatwick said it had investigated an "unconfirmed sighting of an object" outside its exclusion zone."
