Manchester Airport passengers are facing long delays at border control amid reports of a 'national outage'. Images shared on social media show long lines of holidaymakers trying to return to the UK this evening .
It's understood that the problem is affecting the e-gates system at airports including Manchester. It is understood passports are being checked manually at Manchester. "Our Resilience Team and customer services colleagues are supporting passengers while UK Border Force and the Home Office fix the issue." Further details about the 'outage' are yet to be confirmed. Border Force has been approached for comment.
Staff are said to have told passengers at the airport - some of whom reported waiting for longer than an hour at the gates - that it was a "nationwide" problem, and began handing out water.
