Passengers have claimed Manchester Airport is running 'more efficiently' after the Royal Navy were drafted in to help cover the ongoing Border Force strikes.
Around 1,000 Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) members working as Border Force officers at Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow airports - and the port of Newhaven - resumed strikes yesterday (December 28), that are set to last for four days in a row over pay, jobs, and conditions.
On Wednesday (December 28) the Manchester Evening News reported how passengers had breezed through small queues in 'record time' at passport control in Manchester, with many commending the miltary personnel who were appointed to help out.
