Jose Luis Zoreda, vice president of Exceltur, whose members include Iberia and the Iberostar and Riu Hotels & Resorts chain, said airports were unprepared for a rush of Britons now the country was no longer a member of the European Union.
Zoreda said an explosion in demand for travel would most affect airports with the highest arrivals of British tourists, who after Brexit must pass through passport control for citizens from outside the EU, a process slower than for EU citizens.
He said he expected Malaga, Palma, Gran Canaria and both Tenerife airports to have the biggest bottlenecks, Canarian Weekly reported.
