Never ending queues at Brussels Airport on Monday evening as hundreds of passengers wanted to travel through the airport’s Schengen border, where a passport check is mandatory between Belgium (Europe) and outside the Schengen zone for arriving and departing passengers.
According to a few passengers that wanted to cross the Schengen border, only one booth was manned. Passenger Kathy Flake rushed to social media and explained that it took her four (!!) hours to pass the passport control. Another passenger counted three hours, while another one three hours and forty minutes.
“Well done Brussels Airport for having 1 kiosk open for international passport control,” Edward Scott said on social media. “Brussels has always been my favorite city. But I’d never flown into Brussels Airport before. What a nightmare. Will never fly here again. Almost four hours in passport queue. It’s almost like…they don’t want you to visit. If I wanted that I’d go to Paris!” Kathy Flake added.
According to Brussels Airport, the queues are the result of staffing problems at the Federal Police, nonetheless a terrible performance for the airport located in the heart of Europe.
