Faro Airport registers "greatest pressure" in biometric data collection

Mandatory biometric data collection from 100% of passengers coming from outside the Schengen area is proceeding without major problems at most Portuguese airports, but Faro faces "greater pressure" due to factors such as weather conditions, flight delays and concentration of arrivals, especially from British tourists. Since 6 September, when the measure came into force, processing time per passenger has increased from 5-15 to 15-30 minutes in Lisbon, which the PSP considers acceptable. The addition of 360 officers and technological investments have reversed the serious constraints recorded at the beginning of the year, but the PSP admits it cannot guarantee that problems will not return, with capacity currently at 80% of recommended levels, with a focus on more technical training.
