Around 30% of Gatwick's air traffic control staff are off sick, including from COVID-19.
A daily limit of 800 flights has been imposed at the London airport until Sunday.
The flight cap aims to prevent last-minute cancellations and delays for passengers.
EasyJet, British Airways and other airlines have had to cancel departures due to the limits.
The largest number of flight cancellations is expected on Friday, September 29.
