Ryanair says new EU digital border-check procedures are causing queues and disruption at several European airports this summer. In its assessment, the airline identifies seven “worst-hit” terminals and points to operational impacts at airports located in countries that include Italy, Spain and France—destinations that it says are popular with UK travelers. According to Ryanair, the border checks are being processed digitally and are leading to longer waiting times and travel disruption for passengers during peak periods. The report describes a pattern of congestion affecting airport throughput rather than specifying incidents at individual locations. The underlying issue, as characterized by the airline, is the implementation of the checks and the effect they are having on passenger processing at terminals. The coverage is based on Ryanair’s own account of where delays are occurring, with no additional official response or corroborating detail from regulators or airport operators included in the provided summaries. The situation is framed as an expected summer problem for travelers using affected routes and terminals.
