Aviation representatives are urging Brussels to suspend new post-Brexit border rules for British holidaymakers ahead of the summer travel season. In an open letter, global aviation chiefs warn that implementation of the updated arrangements could lead to major disruption at airports, including long waits at passport processing points. The outlet reports that the letter highlights the risk that thousands of travellers could be left stranded during peak holiday periods. It also cites concerns about passenger queues exceeding five hours at passport kiosks, framing the potential impact as a wider problem for air travel capacity and airport operations over the summer. The request is presented as pressure on EU officials to reconsider timing or application of the rules to avoid what the signatories characterize as travel “chaos” and severe delays. The reporting focuses on the warning from industry figures and the operational consequences they expect if the rules proceed as scheduled, rather than providing details of an EU response or alternative proposals.
