That sort of depends on destination - I can't see a lot of demand for
0300 departures to many places, nor really arrivals at that sort of
time.



There is huge demand for cheap charter flights to/from Gatwick, and
they take off and land throughout the day and night. In summer, the
airport is almost at busy at night as in the day.
