International arrivals at all UK air and maritime ports are set to be impacted, along with those travelling to the UK from UK border controls in Calais, Dunkirk and Coquelles in Northern France. The walkouts will also impact goods entering the UK as well.
The strike action could lead to “longer wait times” at border control, the Home Office said. Passengers are told to check the latest travel advice with operators before they embark on their journey and those who are eligible should use eGates where possible.
