Companies call for return of temporary suspensions of border controls at airports

RENA – the Association of Airlines in Portugal and Ryanair are asking the European Union to extend the possibility for countries to temporarily suspend the European entry and exit system (EES) at airports, which collects biometric data from third-country citizens. Ryanair warns that the end of the exception regime, which expired on Sunday, threatens to worsen queues at border controls, after waits of two to three hours were recorded this summer at airports such as Lisbon, Krakow, Milan and Rome. Nine countries, including Portugal, had already sent a letter to the European Commission asking for guarantees on the continuity of flexibility mechanisms, which did not happen. The EES came into operation on 10 April, replacing the manual stamping of passports with an electronic registration with biometric data collection.
