Passengers facing delays at UK airports due to border system issues
Passengers flying into the UK are experiencing delays due to issues with the border system, specifically the e-gates not working.
Queues have built up at Heathrow, Manchester, and Gatwick airports, as well as other airports across the country, with many people having to get their passports checked manually.
It is unclear what the issue is with the border system, but the impact is mainly being felt at larger airports with e-gates.
The issue started on Friday night and is expected to cause disruptions during the bank holiday weekend.
The Home Office is working with airlines and port operators to minimise disruption.
Passengers have expressed their frustration on social media, with some waiting for more than two hours at passport control.
It is also affecting other entry points, with the largest ferry port in Dover experiencing a similar issue with the French passport system failing earlier on Saturday.
This weekend is already expected to be busy for travellers, with the bank holiday coinciding with the half-term break for many families.
