"The EES system will be officially implemented on October 12th. The equipment is already in place and has been tested several times."
"At Zurich Airport, we are prepared for the introduction of the system together with the cantonal police. The launch in Zurich will take place in stages this autumn."
"an early arrival at the airport is therefore recommended"
"entry requirements imposed by the respective airline as well as the country of destination well before departure"
Switzerland will introduce the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) from October 12, replacing manual passport stamps with biometric checks that capture fingerprints and facial scans of non‑EU travellers. Geneva and Zurich airports will be among the first to roll out EES, with Zurich adopting the system in stages during autumn. The EuroAirport at Basel‑Mulhouse will also begin EES operations on October 12. Travellers should expect potential delays during the initial months, are advised to arrive early, and should check airline and country entry requirements well before departure. Some rollout details remain unclear while equipment and testing have been confirmed.
