Several flights diverted after plane blocks Gatwick runway

Flights were diverted from Gatwick Airport after a plane blocked the runway, causing disruptions to air travel. An Easyjet flight was among those affected, and it was forced to land at Stanstead Airport instead of its original destination. However, the Easyjet plane then became stuck at Stanstead due to a lack of available fuel. The incident resulted in further delays for passengers on board the diverted flight.
