Time-consuming immigration controls and a shortage of border staff are being blamed for long delays at European airports for thousands of British holidaymakers. If you’ve been affected as a passenger, or work at an airport, we’d like you to share your experience with us.
Passengers have faced queues of up to four hours at airport arrivals and departures at popular British holiday destinations including Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Lisbon, Lyon, Paris-Orly, Milan and Brussels, Airlines for Europe (A4E) has said.
Understaffing and tightened security checks brought in under European regulations after the Paris and Brussels terrorist attacks are causing the delays, according to A4E which represents airlines including easyJet, British Airways and Ryanair.
