The alarm went off without warning, forcing travellers to rush out of the terminal amid chaos. Many took to social media to vent their anger and confusion.
“Fire alarm at Gatwick South Terminal. Evacuated all passengers from Airside, no staff know what’s going on. No coordination from anyone at the airport. Fun day,” tweeted passenger Ellie.
Another passenger, Ryan, slammed the safety measures: “Incredible. A fire alarm at @Gatwick_Airport and staff are as clueless as guests on how to exit safely. No fire marshalls, signage pointing the wrong way. Eventually found a way out. Awful.”
Cause Still Unknown, Passengers Warned to Check Flights
The alarm was triggered roughly 30 minutes ago, but the exact cause remains a mystery. Gatwick Airport has yet to release an official statement or clarify the situation.
The disruption hit during a busy time, affecting hundreds of passengers and multiple flights. Travellers using Gatwick South Terminal are urged to stay in close contact with their airlines for live updates.
