Airport Chief Calls for EU Reform Amid Rising Border Delays

Airport Chief Calls for EU Reform Amid Rising Border Delays

**Airport chief criticises EU border chaos: ‘stop pretending it’s working’**

A prominent airport executive has condemned European Union officials for the escalating delays experienced at airports, urging immediate action to rectify the situation. The discontent comes as many airports struggle with long wait times, which have left travelers frustrated.

The criticism was voiced by airport chief, who highlighted the inefficiencies of the current border control procedures. He emphasized that the European Entry System (EES) is failing to manage the influx of passengers effectively. “Stop pretending... that EES is working just fine. It is not,” Schulte articulated, directly addressing the shortcomings in EU border management.

As growing numbers of holidaymakers return to travel, the resulting congestion has put additional pressure on airport operations. Many travelers are encountering lengthy queues and inefficient processing times, prompting urgent calls for reforms.

The airport authority urges a reevaluation of existing systems and encourages EU leaders to take significant steps towards improving the border control process. With the summer travel season approaching, the need for a competent resolution has become more pressing than ever.
