The Port of Dover and Eurotunnel have announced that the full implementation of the European Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric passport checks will be delayed beyond the peak summer period. According to reports from The Local, the decision follows concerns regarding how European ports and airports will manage the operational requirements of the new system.
The rollout, which involves comprehensive digital checks for travellers, will not reach its full capacity at these specific transit points until the summer travel rush has ended. This phased approach aims to mitigate potential disruption for passengers during one of the busiest times of the year.
