Speaking at ACI Europe's annual congress in Prague, ACI Europe President Stefan Schulte said the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) had become the biggest concern facing airport leaders this summer, and pleaded with the EU for greater flexibility heading into peak season.
"Right now, EES is what keeps me and many other airport CEOs across Europe awake at night," he said. "Passengers are queuing for hours at peak times and I just do not know how we will be able to cope in the coming weeks with the expected increase in traffic."
