Airports could shut in a worst case scenario during Border Force industrial action, a top official has suggested.
Border Force COO Steve Dann said robust plans were in place to limit the impact of the strikes but warned that "people should be prepared for disruption".
Workers are striking due to a dispute over pay, jobs, and pensions at Heathrow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Gatwick, Glasgow and Manchester airports, and the port of Newhaven, East Sussex.'Start travelling home for Christmas as soon as possible', Brits warned, with chaos on roads, railways and in airports "We do have robust plans in place to minimise delays to passengers, but we've been very clear from the start that people should be prepared for disruption and take action to plan ahead."
"We have a reasonable expectation that by using this contingency workforce, we will be able to deliver a service that keeps most if not all ports open."
