EU border delays 'not bearable' over summer, warns airport boss
Thursday, July 2, 2026
Berlin airport chief Steffen Bauer said passengers will experience long waits at EU borders during the summer travel season due to the new Entry-Exit System. The system, which requires additional processing for travelers entering the EU, is scheduled to take effect before the peak vacation period. Airport officials have raised concerns about capacity to handle increased processing times. The EU Entry-Exit System collects fingerprint and facial data from non-EU visitors at border crossings.
