So there were wait times of around an hour and a half on Saturday night, as reported by “20 minutes.” A parent who returned from the Canary Islands on Saturday reported: “Hundreds of people have queued for passport control and only one person has verified their identifications.”
This caused too much confusion among the waiting passengers. The circumstances during the wait were not exactly beneficial. Travelers had to go through a “narrow tube without ventilation” because there is currently a temporary measure against passport control, according to the newspaper.

The general circumstances led to great resentment among the hundreds of people who were waiting. Especially with travelers like the parent of the interviewee. There was a big misunderstanding about passport controls when entering from a Schengen country.
It is not the first time that EAP passport control has sparked outrage. The EAP confirms the delays of January 2, 2021. The affected passengers are from “five flights, all of which arrived at the same time,” an EAP spokeswoman told the newspaper. Since the EAP is located on French soil, French passport control rules also apply. This caused delays in the verification of identity documents. As responsible for the infrastructure, the required sanitary conditions were observed.
