Jet2 has issued a warning to passengers travelling via UK airports tomorrow (February 1). The low-cost airline, which operates from East Midlands Airport and nine others in the UK, put out a statement with Border Force workers set to walkout.
The workers are among 100,000 members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) who will go on strike as part of a long-running dispute, over pay, jobs and conditions. Border Force staff who man passport booths are among civil servants from 124 government departments and other bodies taking part.
While the industrial action is not expected to directly disrupt flights, travelling are warned they could face long queues at airports throughout Wednesday (Feb 1) and into the following morning as a result. A statement from Jet2 reads: "We just wanted to remind you that there are planned Border Force strikes taking place from Wednesday 1st February until Thursday 2nd February 2023 at 07:00.
