Ryanair Asks to Stop New EES System Due to Flight Problems

Ryanair is very unhappy with the new EES system.

Ryanair is giving an update on the new European Entry/Exit System. It is causing problems for travelers going to the Schengen zone, which includes France, Germany, and Spain.

The EES system is digital and replaces passport stamps. Travelers must give biometric information like fingerprints and a photo when they arrive. It is free and does not need to be done before arriving.

The EES system started on April 10, 2026, but it has had many problems, especially at busy airports.

Ryanair wants the EES system to be stopped until September. They are unhappy with France, Portugal, and other countries for not having enough staff and kiosks.

Many passengers have had to wait for hours and some have even missed their flights. Ryanair says the system is not ready and is causing problems.

Passengers are waiting in long lines and some are missing their flights.

Ryanair wants the EU to stop the EES system until September so passengers do not have to wait in long lines during the summer.

The EES system was started in October 2025 and is now used in 25 EU countries, including Iceland and Switzerland.

Many travelers are having problems with the system, including not enough kiosks and fingerprint scanners that do not work.
