"The issues some passengers have experienced are unacceptable and so we continue to urge border authorities to ensure they make full and effective use of the permitted flexibilities for as long as needed, so our customers' travel plans are not impacted."
"Greek authorities have indicated that they will not collect biometric data (fingerprints and photos) for UK travellers as part of EES although passengers should follow the advice of authorities on the ground."
Greece is adopting a flexible approach to the EU's biometric Entry/Exit System (EES) following delays that caused some British travelers to miss flights. The Hellenic Police announced full deployment of EES on 20 April, stating that biometric data collection for UK travelers will not occur. The UK government advised travelers to heed local authorities. EES, which became compulsory on 10 April, has led to significant delays, prompting airlines like Easyjet to offer free transfers for affected passengers. The European Commission does not anticipate long-term exemptions for specific countries.
