Airports Warn of Big Delays for Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz, and Jet2 Passengers

Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport has big delays.

Spanish media say airports may have six-hour queues this summer. The International Air Transport Association says the new digital border system will cause big delays.

The Entry/Exit System started on April 10 and is causing long lines and missed flights. Airports say waits of up to three and a half hours have happened. The six-hour wait is what the International Air Transport Association thinks will happen in summer.

Ryanair, easyJet, and Jet2 say there will be missed flights and higher costs. Ryanair passengers must finish check-in 20 minutes earlier.

Ryanair will close check-in an hour before flights to help passengers get through security. This will help the few passengers who miss flights due to queues.

Ryanair says passengers who are late may not be allowed on the flight. The new rule starts on November 10. Passengers can still check in online two hours before the flight.

Jet2 check-in opens three hours before flights and will not open earlier. Passengers should not arrive too early to avoid crowds.

Jet2 says there may be long waits when arriving at destinations and before flights back to the UK. They apologize for the inconvenience.

Wizz Air's UK boss says passengers should arrive at airports three hours before flights due to long queues.

Wizz Air's UK boss says passengers should bring chargers and water because of queues.

The UK boss of Wizz Air says queues will happen when leaving due to passport checks. She says people have experienced longer waits than expected.

The usual advice is to arrive two hours before flights, but now it is three hours.

easyJet says airports may have long waits at passport control due to the new Entry/Exit System. This may require biometrics like facial scans and fingerprints.

Research says up to 41 million visitors and $45.4 billion may be lost if delays happen. One-third of travelers say they will visit less if they have to wait three to four hours.

Many people do not know about the new Entry/Exit System. Over half of those surveyed had heard little about it. Some passengers missed a flight from Milan to Manchester due to queues.

Ryanair, easyJet, and Jet2 have warned of missed flights and higher costs due to the new system. Passengers should be aware of the changes to avoid problems.
