Second passport check error at Leeds Bradford Airport
15.12.07
Passengers arriving at Leeds Bradford Airport from overseas have been allowed to enter unchecked through passport control for a second time. The revelation came the day that Government officials told a local MP that security at the airport had been tightened up after a similar incident in October.
Passengers arriving on an international flight on Monday were taken through the domestic arrivals gate due to a 'human error' - avoiding normal checks to gain access to British soil. Airport officials said that the mistake was quickly rectified, but one passenger on the flight said: 'We were just allowed out as though we were arriving from another UK destination.'
Ironically, details of the latest incident came to light on the day that MP Greg Mulholland, whose constituency includes the airport, received a letter from the Border and Immigration Agency responding to his concerns over the previous incident at the airport. He said: 'it beggars belief that it had been allowed to happen again.'
