European Union countries are pausing or delaying the full implementation of border checks, including the Entry/Exit System (EES), following reports of severe congestion at major airports like Frankfurt and Amsterdam where waiting times have doubled to two hours. The temporary reprieve comes as authorities attempt to balance security requirements with travel disruption, though the underlying border control regime remains in transition.

  • EU border checks caused waiting times to double at major airports, peaking at two hours in Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
  • Multiple EU countries have paused the full rollout of border screening systems to prevent further travel disruption.
  • The delays stem from the implementation of new entry/exit security requirements affecting travel between the EU and other regions.
