EU’s ‘unpleasant and dangerous’ border checks need overhaul, says Greek airports boss

Alexander Zinell, the head of Fraport Greece, which operates 14 Greek airports, has highlighted the need for a significant revamp of the EU’s entry-exit system, citing "fundamental flaws" and the necessity of using gazebos to shield passengers from the sun during long waits. His criticism joins a growing list of complaints about the system's inefficiencies, which require non-EU travelers to undergo fingerprinting and other checks. This issue matters because it underscores broader concerns about the EU's ability to manage its borders effectively, potentially impacting travel experiences and international relations.
