Milan airport border chaos

Milan airport border chaos

The chaos in Milan is being seen as a warning sign of the potential impact of the EU's new Entry-Exit System (EES) on UK travelers.

Witnesses described scenes of "total carnage" as families were abandoned by airlines despite being in the queue for hours before departure.

Travel experts suggest that the lack of preparation for post-Brexit border checks is likely to cause similar disruptions throughout the summer.

EasyJet has issued guidance to passengers, but many are calling for more significant government intervention to address the systemic delays.
