According to The Local, European airport and airline associations have issued a fresh warning regarding the implementation of the new digital Entry/Exit System (EES). The industry groups described the current situation as a critical point, expressing concern that the system could lead to widespread travel misery and significant delays for millions of passengers throughout the summer season.
The associations have requested immediate action from the European Commission to address these operational risks. They fear that without intervention, the transition to the new digital border requirements will result in severe congestion at European travel hubs. The report notes that these warnings follow previous appeals for the Commission to mitigate the impact of the EES on cross-border travel.
