David Neal, former independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, says the Border Force's failure to inspect private jets poses a 'really dangerous risk to security'.
Border Force's failure to inspect private jets poses a 'really dangerous risk to security', a sacked watchdog warned today.
Mr Neal voiced fears the problem may be duplicated at other airports that handle private and chartered aircraft, known as 'general aviation'. He insisted a delay of up to nine months in appointing his successor would mean the watchdog's inspection schedule will suffer. The Mail revealed how 'high-risk' aircraft have been allowed to land at London City airport without security checks Advertisement 'One of the areas would be general aviation. I think this is a really dangerous risk to security, so we should be doing that – but there is no one in place to do that.'
