Very good question…there was talk of continuing to filter passengers through T1 for security/ departures, whilst also using T3 gates with all airside open and on arrival use T3 as normal for immigration and baggage. This would create an absolute nightmare for queues in T1 given the increase in Ryanair and EasyJet departures this summer season!
Also confusing for passengers departing and arriving into different terminals!
I personally think all of T3 will reopen and passengers will unfortunately have to put up with long queues and waits at both ends of their journey’s during peak times until MAG can recruit and train enough security staff.
Whilst Immigration is down to the Border Force (or government).
