Presenting Flights to UK Immigration
Hello all!!
Do any fellow Ground Handlers at the airports of the UK present their international flights to the UKBA? At my airport we HAVE to otherwise we get penalized by the airport authorities. But we take it in turns between Menzies and Servisair during the summer. Does anyone else present flights to the UKBA? Also if you do how does it work at your airport? Am just intreagued to find out! Is there some hidden legal requirement to present flights? If anyone knows I will be greatfull. Many thanks in advance Speedbird |
Try here for general information :
UK Border Agency | Customs and travel information Your local UKBA office will explain their procedures in detail if you ask. The Home Office makes the rules - not your local airport. |

I believe if there is no one to "present" passengers to the UKBA, and they want to stick to their protocol, they could insist that the commander of the aircraft comes and "presents" his passengers to them in the absence of someone nominated to do it on his behalf.

This happens in the us also though, when flights land a GenDec has to be brought to customs and immigration officials office by the handler within one hour of arrival for the paperwork to be processed, it contains information such as crew names as they are not required to have a visa for their overnight stay, incoming cargo etc and what it is and any other special info such as AVF travelling.
