Many airports across Europe are currently experiencing substantial queues and operational delays linked to the newly introduced Entry-Exit System (EES). This updated border control framework is affecting passenger processing times and causing prolonged waits.

These delays have contributed to significant congestion at passport control areas, complicating travel plans during this peak period.
