Cash incentives are being offered for working shifts at London's Heathrow Airport
Worker shortages mean airports and ports are facing a "very difficult summer", a border staff union has said.
"For the first time in living memory, Border Force is no longer attracting enough candidates to fill the vacancies that they've got," Ms Moreton told the BBC. However, she added: "This is a very expensive proposition that resourcing it properly in the first place would have avoided." "Brexit has not helped with the issues we're facing at the moment because we had a natural attraction of individuals from the European market who would apply for vacancies within UK airports," he told the BBC.
The Home Office also said travellers may face longer waits than usual over the Easter period due to high passenger numbers. Mr Lundgren said the airline was waiting for the Department for Transport to give permission for around 100 new members of staff to start work.
