The European Union could delay the rollout of new travel rules further as airports face huge queues and delays, sparking holiday chaos for tourists.

What's happening

Brits are facing long queues and delays at airports as the EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) border checks are rolled out. The system, which is designed to strengthen border security, has led to significant disruptions.

Impact on travelers

Holidaymakers have been hit with massive delays, with some flights affected. The situation has prompted concerns that the rollout may need to be postponed again to avoid further chaos.
