Information for hosts collecting Ukrainian arrivals

If you are collecting Ukrainian arrivals, please see information below.

Where do I collect the arrivals from?

The Welcome Point is located inside the arrivals hall and is easily identifiable by Ukrainians when they arrive. However it's not in a publicly accessible area of the airport. The Welcome Point is available daily from 08:00 – 23:00.

What is the purpose of the Welcome Point?

• The purpose of the Welcome Point is to provide any immediate practical support to help arrivals with their onward journey including:
• Welfare provisions, especially for young children (including nappies and baby milk)
• Guidance documents and information leaflets welcoming them to the UK
• Refreshments, with support of on-site retailers including Costa Coffee
• Availability of phone chargers and Wi-Fi
• The desk hold a small number of SIM cards for emergency use. SIM cards can be purchased in the on-site WH Smiths but sponsors are advised to approach mobile network providers, most of whom are offering Ukrainians free SIM cards, data and calls to the Ukraine
