UK: Heathrow Airport passport queues reached two-and-a-half hours in july-data
Passengers arriving at London Heathrow had to queue at passport control for up to 2.5 hours in July, official figures showed, sparking further criticism from aviation chiefs about delays caused by Britain's border regime. The Border Force missed its 45-minute or less target for passport check wait times for 95^ of visitors from outside the European Economic Area on all but 1 day last month. Queues were longest July 6 when non-EEA visitors had to wait for up to 2 hours and 36 minutes at Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport. The boss of Virgin Atlantic called the queue times "unacceptable", adding to criticism from the CE of British Airways, who said last week that Heathrow's queues were worse than at other major world airport. <br/>
