A few weeks back Gatwick being one of the busiest airports in the UK needed to shut down when an illegal drone was spotted near the runway. 

This forced into cancelling of hundreds of flights and affecting about 130,000 who were scheduled to travel from Gatwick airport. The shutdown ended for 30 hours and since then experts are working to find out the ways to prevent the drone activities near the airports worldwide. Similar disruption has also been witnessed at Heathrow airport in the past few years.
