Aci Europe and Airlines for Europe sent a letter to the European Union calling for six changes to the Entry/Exit System (EES).
The associations say chronic congestion at airport borders is causing queues of up to five hours, often exceeding two hours and risking missed flights and connections, with daily averages of 3,700 flights and almost half a million passengers in Italy. They request eliminating duplicate verification and redundant checks, improving biometric fingerprint and facial image processing, preventing duplicate EES profiles, and redesigning the Travel to Europe app and portal to enhance pre‑registration tools across Europe.
