Corfu

Corfu is a Greek island. Recent news articles mention Greece in the context of EU border checks. Alexander Zinell, the chief executive of Fraport Greece, which manages 14 Greek airports, has called for a significant overhaul of the EU's new border checks. He highlighted "fundamental flaws" in the entry-exit system (EES), which mandates fingerprinting and photo capture for non-EU passengers. This system has led to lengthy queues, requiring the erection of gazebos for waiting passengers. The situation underscores ongoing challenges with implementing new EU border control measures and their impact on travel and airport operations within Greece.
