Ryanair Urges EU to Extend EES Derogation Amid Border Delays

Ryanair has called for an extension of the Entry/Exit System (EES) derogation, citing 2-3 hour border delays at major European airports during summer. The airline attributed disruptions to kiosk failures, staffing shortages, and longer processing times. While the EES aims to modernize border management, Ryanair warns that persistent congestion could impact passenger experience and flight operations.
