The first round of strike action lasts until Boxing Day

Passengers travelling to Northern Ireland could face delays in the coming days due to Border Force strikes.

The UK Government and Border Force have warned travellers to expect "delays and disruption" while giving assurances that preparations were made to minimise queues.Over 1,000 employees will walk out as part of the strikes, which will affect passport control desks at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Cardiff, Manchester, and Glasgow airports, as well as the port of Newhaven in East Sussex.

As of Friday morning, most flights arriving in Belfast are running on time with only two delays currently, both on the route from Manchester to Belfast City Airport with Flybe. The 8.15am flight is delayed until 10am, while the 1.50pm flight is delayed until 2.50pm. Members of the Public and Commercial Services Union are in a long-running dispute with the government over pay, jobs, pensions and conditions.
