Holidaymakers heading back to UK airports today may face delays, as easyJet issues a warning to travellers.
Britons flying home have been warned that the process of getting out of the airport may be more laborious than usual.
On easyJet’s official website, the airline said: “We have been informed of a nationwide issue that is currently affecting all E-Gates at Passport Control in UK airports.
“UK Border Force is deploying all available resources to minimize queue times, however, there may be a delay between disembarking your plane and clearing passport control.”
Electronic gates used to scan passports at UK airports were hit with a glitch on Thursday, April 25.
As a result, thousands of passengers were affected.
Early evening on April 25, Birmingham Airport said on X: “Arriving into #BHX, the @ukhomeoffice e-Gates are currently out of service due to a technical issue across the country. Please use the desks within the Immigration Hall only.”
A few hours later, BHX reassured travellers: “We can now confirm that the below issue is resolved.”
