Jet2 boss Steve Heapy has said lobbying airports about EU Entry-Exit System (EES) concerns is working, but added it is “wise” for passengers to turn up early.
Steve Heapy said lobbying was helping ease the effect of EES this summer
EES, which requires biometric registration on arrival at EU airports, has also caused delays at some locations when clients are returning home, Heapy said. “It is wise to turn up a little earlier than normal," he added. "Yes, some have been subject to longer queues."
However, he stressed no passengers had been left behind, as had occurred with budget carriers. “Have any [Jet2] passengers missed flights or have any flights left without passengers? No.”
