Passengers at Gatwick Airport's North Terminal have been left without running water, unable to wash their hands in toilets and with some turned away from restaurants.
The outage is understood to have been caused by a burst water main affecting supply to the site. It comes just weeks after a separate outage left the airport without running water, functioning toilets or access to bars.
Passengers describe frustration
Natasha Nzekwe, who is due to fly to Amsterdam from the North Terminal, said: "There's no water at all, you can't even wash your hands in the toilets."
She told the BBC: "If I were on a long haul flight I think it would be worse, not being able to properly wash your hands is frustrating, and they haven't given us any information as to what is going on."
Cause and response
On July 26, a water treatment plant in south-east England suffered a power failure, which caused low water pressure and supply problems at Gatwick.
SES Water says it is working to repair a burst main which is affecting supply to the airport.
