"The controversial changes to UK border rules for the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system mean that British dual nationals can now only enter the UK if they have a valid British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement, which costs 589."
"Norwegian Air tells The Local that although the airline does not comment on individual cases it has followed all relevant protocol: 'Passengers, including those with dual citizenship, are personally responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents and visas prior to travel.'"
"The Home Office reportedly told The Times last week that it has finally intervened following requests from both the airline and the girl's school, yet the 16-year-old has not returned to the UK."
A 16-year-old British-Norwegian dual national has been stranded in Copenhagen for three weeks after being denied boarding on her flight to the UK. New UK travel rules require British dual nationals to have a valid British passport or a Certificate of Entitlement to enter the UK. Despite her parents' pleas for assistance and applying for an emergency passport, she remains in Denmark. Norwegian Air has stated that passengers are responsible for obtaining necessary travel documents, and the Home Office has reportedly intervened but the girl has not yet returned home.
