Travellers braced for misery at UK’s busiest airports as Border Force workers strike
Sky News says Hundreds of thousands of air passengers face possible delays today as Border Force workers become the latest to go on strike.
More than 1,000 employees will walk out, affecting passport control desks at Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow airports, as well as the port of Newhaven in East Sussex.
The strike will last until early on Boxing Day, before another round from 28 December until early on New Year’s Eve.
More than 10,000 flights are scheduled to land at those airports during those times and more than 250,000 passengers arriving on Friday have been warned to expect delays.
