Our immigration system is based on judging people by their skills and talents, not where there passport is from, such a proposal would be in conflict with this so will not be considered. We note similar issues with recruitment are being reported at Airports within the EU, which indicate this would also be an ineffective approach compared to focusing on other issues affecting recruitment in the sector, including pay and conditions.
Operational matters relating to airport operations should be referred to the Department for Transport.
