Sistemul european de intrare/ieșire (EES) intră într-o nouă etapă
Starting September 6, temporary measures allowing EU states to suspend biometric data collection during peak times will expire, raising concerns about longer wait times at airports. The EES system, which tracks travelers' entries and exits, will now have fewer options to ease congestion. Airlines and tourism representatives fear this will lead to increased delays, with border checks potentially taking up to 90 seconds. IATA reports significant wait times at major airports, urging the European Commission to extend flexibility measures until winter's end. Travelers are advised to allow extra time for border control and avoid tight flight connections.
