Is there an airport which will lose UK connection if the UK leaves the EU customs union?

Accepted answer

I flew to La Palma Airport. They do have a corridor to check passports for arrivals from outside Schengen, but there are no gates between the luggage belts and the outside. I did not see any customs facilities, but perhaps there exists a system to shepherd passengers and their luggage to a sealed off area that I didn't see, bypassing the luggage belts.

There exist seasonal (charter) flights from the UK to otherwise domestic airports in the northern Nordic countries, such as Kiruna in Sweden and KittilΓ€ in Finland (β€œSanta Claus flights”). I suppose they must have some way of checking passports but again, at least for Kiruna Airport, I know that luggage arrives in an area that has no separation from the outside world.
