EES Border Checks Cause Chaos

The new digital border system, which requires facial scans and fingerprints for non-EU passport holders, has led to several flights departing without passengers who were stuck in security lines.

Major airlines, including Ryanair, Jet2, and easyJet, have issued urgent warnings to travelers to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual.

While the suspension in Greece offers temporary relief, other major hubs in Spain and France continue to struggle with the increased processing times.

Travel industry experts warn that the disruption could worsen during the peak summer season if infrastructure is not rapidly improved.
