Show Notes
Ryanairs CEO, Michael OLeary, accuses EU of imposing lengthy passport queues on British travelers as Brexit retaliation. The new Entry Exit System, implemented in stages since October 2022, is causing significant delays, with waits up to four hours at peak times. Airports across Europe, including Germany, France, Spain, and Italy, are struggling with two-hour or longer waits. Despite pre-registration, travelers still face long lines due to understaffing and technical issues. Aviation groups have requested more time, but the EU has pushed the deadline to early September. OLeary urges a five-month delay to avoid summer chaos, particularly for smaller airports like Seville, Alicante, and Faro.
