EU urged to pause border system amid holiday travel
European airports are experiencing severe delays due to the rollout of the EU biometric border check system, with queues reaching up to five hours. Airlines and airports have called for the suspension of these checks during peak travel months, citing impact on flight departures, passenger frustration, and potential damage to Europe’s reputation. The industry groups warn that the current system cannot handle the increased passenger volume, expecting about 40 million more travelers in July and August. They urge the European Commission to allow temporary suspensions until staffing and automated check-in systems are sufficiently improved.
