Several British media are reporting on the airport chaos on Tuesday evening.
A spokesperson at the airport in Manchester informs the Manchester Evening News that the border control systems are out of order, and that this applies throughout the country.
The same is confirmed by a spokesperson at London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports to Sky News.
– We assist the border police with their emergency plans, to help solve the problem as quickly as possible, and follow up on the passengers. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused them, says the spokesperson at Heathrow Airport to the channel.
It is currently unclear what caused the system failure, and how long it will take to get the systems up and running again.
Are you yourself affected by the problems? Feel free to let us know here or call us on 24 00 00 00!
In social media, a number of travelers have shared photos of large crowds at border control at various airports.
Dagbladet has been in contact with Norwegian, who state that the problems do not affect any of their flights. The airline has flights to Gatwick. So far, Dagbladet has not been able to get a comment from SAS, which flies to Heathrow.
The case is updated!
