The head of one of Europe’s busiest airports has blamed the long queues forming at border control on the way the EU entry/exit system has been designed, rather than how airports have rolled it out.
Passengers at a number of Europe’s airports have reported waiting in queues lasting up to five hours at border control due to the new entry-exit system (EES), which requires visitors from third-nation countries, including the UK, to provide fingerprints and photographs upon first entry into the Schengen Area.
