business

According to Al Jazeera, European airlines and airports are sounding the alarm: a new EU digital border system is causing severe delays just as summer travel peaks. The system, meant to speed up border checks, is instead creating gridlock at checkpoints across Europe. Industry leaders are calling for flexibility—possibly temporary suspension—to prevent the seasonal surge from becoming a crisis. Regulators are considering whether to ease enforcement or adjust the system to handle the rush.
