UK airports in disarray as passport e-gates malfunction.
TL;DR
Passengers flying into the UK are facing delays as passport e-gates across the country have not been working since Friday night. The issue at airports, including Heathrow, Manchester and Gatwick, means people flying in are having to get their passports checked manually. The Home Office said it was working with airlines and port operators to minimise disruption from the "nationwide border system issue". A union warned queues would build quickly.
