First Toussaint Holiday Weekend Puts EU Biometric Entry/Exit System to the Test in France

Heavy holiday traffic on 26 Oct 2025 provided the first real stress-test for the EU’s new biometric Entry/Exit System at French airports and Channel terminals. Average registration waits hit 38 minutes at CDG, and Eurostar departures faced minor delays, but contingency measures prevented major disruption. Companies should now budget extra time for non-EU travellers until the enrolment phase ends next spring.
