All Virgin LGW flights delayed today-11th Nov

Just got back from dropping my neighbours at LGW. Being the kind person I am [ii] I carried their bags to check-in as they are in their late 70's.
At check-in the lady explained that there were delays on all Virgin flights out of Gatwick today for an unknown reasons[?]
Checking the departure boards I noticed the VS031, VS065 & VS027 were over an hour late, the VS015 90 minutes late and the VS043 which they were on was delay by almost 3 hours.
Just wondering what a delay for unknown reasons was?, can't be weather related as it was a bright sunny morning.
It also seems no other airline has been affected.

I just arrived back at Gatwick today on VS044 from Vegas and we landed about 20 minutes early

Looks like there will be some knock on effect for the 12th as the both later MCO and Vegas Flights are currently showing 90 minute delays - the Vegas flight is not anticpated into Gatwick until 12.30[:0]

Lucky me then! Arrived back on the VS 28 early this morning. When we left last night, the 1st Gatwick had only just arrived and the 2nd one wasn't due in MCO till around 8PM local nearly three hours late!

Also on - line was down for the Orlando flights yesterday.

Also had a 90 minute delay on the outbound on the 3rd when the aircraft was late in from Vegas and then went tech when we about to leave!
