With passengers potentially facing 12 hour delays on commercial airliners flying out of Heathrow, can you afford not to know whether you will make your important business meeting or holiday which has been planned for months.

Airlines have been told to half their passenger traffic in the hope this will allow the remaining staff members to check passports and perform security checks.

Quotes from the BBC website state:

"Heathrow airport has warned airlines that passengers could face 12-hour delays next week when immigration officers go on strike over pensions."

"The delays at immigration are likely to be so long that passengers could not be safely accommodated within the terminals and would need to be held on arriving aircraft,"

"This in turn would quickly create gridlock at the airport with no available aircraft parking stands, mass cancellations or departing aircraft and diversions outside the UK for arriving aircraft."
