EU's New Border System May Cause Delays for UK Travelers

Enhanced Entry/Exit System could lead to passengers being held on planes due to congested terminals.

The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) is set to launch on November 10, requiring non-EU travelers to provide fingerprints and photographs upon entry.
Johan Lundgren, CEO of easyJet, warned that the new system might cause significant terminal congestion, potentially delaying passenger disembarkation.
There are concerns about long queues at major transit points, including EU airports, the Port of Dover, Eurotunnel, and London’s St Pancras station.
A mobile app for pre-registration is still under development, and industry leaders suggest delaying EES implementation until it is available.
UK travel organizations are urging the government to better inform travelers about the upcoming changes to avoid confusion and delays.
