The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) was expected to be fully operational by April 10th, but many airports reported significant disruptions. Non-EU nationals must provide facial scans and fingerprints, yet the system is not completely implemented. Since its partial rollout in October, 27,000 travelers have been denied entry, and 700 identified as security threats. Airports Council International reported waiting times of 2 to 3 hours at border controls, with significant flight disruptions and missed connections due to the new requirements.
