A Greek government minister says British travellers will not face border delays this summer despite the rollout of a new EU biometric border control system. The issue has prompted disruption in some airports, with reports of queues, missed flights, and passenger complaints. The Daily Mail reports that a security checks system is already causing operational problems at certain locations, but the minister’s position is that the situation will not extend to delays for UK citizens during the summer travel period.
While accounts describe “chaos” linked to the biometric process, the confirmation offered by the Greek official focuses on timing and impact for travellers from the UK, suggesting that preparations or adjustments are in place to avoid similar disruptions during peak season. The reports do not provide further detail on the specific airports affected, the scale of delays, or what measures are being taken to ensure smooth crossings for British nationals. Overall, the story centres on the contrast between reported problems at some airports and the minister’s assurance that British travellers will not experience border delays this summer.
