Speculation that last year’s drone incident at Gatwick was the work of an insider brought the subject back into the headlines last week following a BBC Panorama probe into what it called an “attack”.
Gatwick chief operating officer Chris Woodroofe, who led the response to the incident, issued what was described as a “less sensationalist” wider reply, noting those responsible did not necessarily have to be part of the airport.
He said: “It is clear that the drone operators had a link to what was going on at the airport, be that a visual link, be that a radio link, or even using the internet where most of this information is available.”
