Culprits behind the drone chaos at Gatwick had an insight into how the airport was reacting to the incident, its head of operations has said
The rogue operators could either see what was taking place on the runway or they were eavesdropping on radio or internet communications, said Chris Woodroofe, the airport's chief operating officer.
Sussex Police said the possibility that the perpetrators could have included an airport insider is a "credible line" of inquiry. "It was terrible that 140,000 people's journeys were disrupted, but everyone was safe." Mr Woodroofe said.
