UK rules out cyber threat after resolving passport gate outage

LONDON, May 7 - Britain's Home Office said border control systems are operational after an outage that it deemed was not a cyber attack led to lengthy queues and chaotic scenes at airports nationwide.

Britain's biggest airport, Heathrow, said all of its border control systems were running as usual and that it expected no issues when operations re-start in the morning. London Stansted Airport also confirmed the outage had been resolved. Britain's biggest airports, including Heathrow, Stanstead and London Gatwick in southern England, Manchester in northern England, and Edinburgh in Scotland, earlier said they were aware of a nationwide problem and that staff were working with Border Force officials to resolve it.

Videos posted on social media platform X showed long queues at passport desks at airports including Heathrow and Stansted.
