AIRPORT chiefs have closed an entire terminal amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Gatwick Airport has suspended all operations at its North Terminal.
It follows news yesterday that British Airways had cancelled all flights operating from the site.
Meanwhile budget carrier Easyjet grounded its entire UK fleet this week.
The airport will now only be operating flights from the South Terminal.
On its website Gatwick said: "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, flights to most destinations are either cancelled or running a very limited schedule.
"From April 1, we are temporarily closing North Terminal and all flights will operate from South Terminal.
"Rail and bus services are also running to a reduced timetable, so we recommend you plan your journey carefully.
"For all flight information, please keep in contact with your airline who will be able to assist you."
