April Travel Advisory: Heathrow Airport Faces Potential Strikes Following March Disruptions

Following disruptions caused by the UK Border Force Strike on March 15, travelers planning a trip to the United Kingdom in April should be aware of potential delays and disruptions at airports and ports due to upcoming strike actions. Heathrow Airport, in particular, may face further challenges in April as members of the Unite union consider a strike over the Easter break.

The Strike on March 15 resulted in longer wait times at UK border control, despite the government's efforts to minimize the impact by assigning government workers and military personnel to perform border checks. This approach was previously criticized for potentially compromising safety.

In addition to the impact on March 15, the potential Heathrow Airport Strike in April could further disrupt travel plans. The ongoing ballot on strike action, which involves over 3,000 workers, is set to close on March 17. The workers demand improved pay, jobs, and working conditions, citing a 10.6% inflation rate.

Travelers planning to visit the United Kingdom in April should stay informed about the Strike situation and be prepared for potential disruptions and delays at airports and ports.  To ensure a smoother journey, it is recommended that travelers adjust their travel plans and allow extra time for potential delays.
