Delays of up to 3 hours/ New EU border control system causes congestion at Brussels airport

The implementation of the European Union's new Entry-Exit System (EES) has caused delays at Brussels Airport. Passengers from non-EU countries have faced queues lasting up to three hours.

The new system replaces traditional passport stamping with digital biometric registration, requiring fingerprints and facial images from travelers entering the Schengen Area.

While the system aims to increase security and improve border controls across Europe, the first week of implementation has brought congestion and confusion to international arrivals.

The European Entry-Exit System represents one of the most important reforms of EU border control since the creation of the Schengen area.

Managed by Frontex and implemented by national border authorities, the system automatically records the entry and exit of third-country nationals, while collecting biometric data to verify identity and track travel in the twenty-nine participating countries. /CNA
