Europe’s airport travellers face long security lines
European holidaymakers jetting off to popular summer destinations are experiencing long queues at airports after the introduction of tighter security checks. Airline passengers have faced queues of up to 4 hours at European airports, including Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Lisbon, Milan and Paris-Orly. The new security measures, which countries had 6 months to implement from April, mean people entering and leaving the Schengen area face enhanced checks. Border staff must now check passenger details against security databases. The delays coincide with some of the busiest travelling weeks for airports around Europe. Some airports have seen flight delays jump 300% compared with last year, according to A4E. “There are major delays but we could see this get worse," said A4E <br/>
