ATH passengers travelling through Stansted Airport have been among the first in the UK to use new facial recognition technology as part of a major trial of the system. TRAVELLERS holding new-style biometric passports are being urged to "cut the queues" at immigration and use new facial recognition gates at Stansted Airport. The gates, one of only two trials of the technology in the UK, were brought on-line in December as part of a Border Agency trial run in conjunction with Stansted's owners, BAA. It has been so successful, seeing more than 160,000 passengers take part, it has been extended to October. Plans for further airports to take part in the change-over are afoot.

Fire!
A derelict building on the fringes of Gatwick Airport was destroyed by fire last night.
The two-storey house in Lowfield Heath, within sight of the airport runway, was ravaged by flames.
Six fire crews were called to the blaze in Poles Lane just before 10pm.
They could not work inside the building because it was unsound.
The fire was out by midnight but a crew spent the night at the scene to make sure it did not flare up again.
Fire investigation officers are working at the scene this morning to find out how it started.
