    Those airports should not provide flight spots they cannot attend instead of asking the whole continent to renounce to security, I am OK to subsidise the transition of new legislations but prioritising profit over security sounds BS to me…

    They’ve had, what, five years to prepare, but they prioritised quarterly profits twenty times over rather than even pretend to take their roles seriously. No sympathy. The airlines, passengers and governments should be suing them for negligence.

      Indeed. They do know which flights are scheduled for which slot. They do know how many passengers have bought tickets for that flight. They also do know the names and nationalities of those passengers and they do know that most of them will arrive 1-3 hours before the flight.

      If airports can’t provide the security personal to check those passengers, they totally have failed at being an airport and the people responsible need to be replaced

    You mean “undermining Europe’s reputation, European tourism and connectivity” wasn’t the goal of requiring fingerprints from everyone who visits Europe? I can’t imagine what else they thought the consequences were going to be.
