Although all Easyjet scheduled services are suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic, there are two or three empty arrivals and departures each day shuttling between Gatwick and usually nearby airports. This is presumably to keep the aircraft in flying order, although I don't know the exact details. This is G-UZLH, arriving from Southend.
