compromise on this. Border Force maintain 100% checks for all scheduled arriving passengers
into the UK. Border Force performs checks on passengers arriving at the UK border
and risk-based intelligence led checks on goods, enabling interventions against those
known or suspected to pose a risk to the national interest.</p><p>Border Force has
reduced the number of aerodromes able to handle flights to and from the UK as of 1
January 2024. From 3135 aerodromes in GB, now only 16% are designated to facilitate
international and CTA flights. This will continue to have a positive impact on Border
Force operations. Routine work continues at aerodromes, enabling Border Force to carry
out customs duties as laid out in CEMA (Customs & Excise Management Act).</p>
