Chaos has erupted at airports throughout the UK as reports emerge of a nationwide border issue affecting travel operations.

A spokesperson for Heathrow Airport stated, “Border Force is currently experiencing a nationwide issue which is impacting passengers being processed through the border. Our teams are supporting Border Force with their contingency plans to help resolve the problem as quickly as possible and are on hand to provide passenger welfare. We apologise for any impact this is having on passenger journeys.”

Manchester Airport echoed similar sentiments, confirming that the UK Border System is down as part of a nationwide outage. Efforts are underway to assist passengers within the airport premises.

As the situation unfolds, travellers are advised to check for updates from their respective airlines and to allow for additional time when planning their journeys. The disruption underscores the importance of contingency planning and preparedness for both airport authorities and passengers alike.
