Re your report (Airline staff trained by people with no visa from trips to the UK, 20 June), this is why it goes on for more than 30 years, with immigration officials traveling outside the planes of check-in staff.
It was associated with it in the 1990s, based on Gatwick, and traveled to Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Tanzania, Iraq and Thailand, among other destinations. Airlines request training and grant trips and accommodations; Training is free, no wallet costs.
Visiting Cairo is more important as we take a pants full of passport machines to show plane staff. In our departure, the “Security” pocket is opened in Cairo Airport, the content is evaluated, and then closed with no additional interest. We, of course, also bring official documents that have set up why we run passports, but no one asks to meet them.
