The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued a new travel update for Spain, outlining important changes and safety tips for British travelers. This update includes information on the new EU Entry/Exit System, passport requirements, travel insurance, safety concerns, and advice for specific traveler groups.
Zurich Airport is preparing for potential travel disruptions due to the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) launching in November. The EES, aimed at enhancing border security, will require additional checks for non-EU travelers, leading to longer wait times and possible flight delays. Zurich Airport is hiring additional staff to manage the influx of travelers, but uncertainty remains about their readiness for the EES launch. The broader implications for travel across Europe and beyond are significant, potentially affecting flight schedules, customer satisfaction, and tourism.
Starting autumn 2024, British travelers entering the EU will face changes in entry procedures. The Entry/Exit System (EES) will register third-country nationals, including British passport holders, using biometric data and automated data collection. This system aims to improve security and data accuracy at EU borders.
