A new European biometric border control system, the Entry/Exit System (EES), has been causing significant delays at airports, with reports indicating that at least ten Israeli travelers have missed connecting flights in recent days as a result of long queues. The system, which registers non-EU nationals upon entry and exit, has led to recommendations for travelers to allow a minimum of three hours between flights to account for the additional processing time. The advisory comes as European airports implement the system, which is intended to enhance border security but has faced operational challenges.
