Default Gatwick airport overbridge

I think there's a *lot* more travel between the UK and the rest of Europe.
And as there will be a soft intra-Ireland border, and an open Ulster-GB
border, there would be little point in inventing a new bureaucratic
obstacle to travel to/from Europe. The airports simply wouldn't have the
space for the gigantic Immigration areas that would be needed, nor would
there be the staff available.


Depends how it works. Something like ESTA which would be
pre-registered and recognised electronically on entry wouldn't require
substantial extra space if any.
