New EU border system tripling time at passport control, airport boss says

The EU's new border system has nearly tripled the time it takes for Brits to get through passport control, even after improvements, a boss at Rome's main airport has said.

Border police at Portugal's Faro airport also told the BBC the Entry Exit System technology suffered from bugs, but insisted any queues there would go down quickly.

But still, the complexity of the system means the time it takes for UK nationals to get through the border has risen from 7 minutes to 20 minutes.
