Eye / fingerprint scanning at all EU / Schengen border points, and will this affect GA travel

If anyone is interested in the details of this – here is the document, of course aimed at “carriers” Frontex Carrier FAQs

Two quotes highly relevant to EuroGA:

“According to Article 1 of the CISA and Article 2 (15) of the Schengen Borders Code, a ‘carrier’ is any natural or legal person whose occupation it is to provide passenger transport by air, sea or land.”

“…natural or legal persons that use privately owned aircraft and do not transport passengers as their profession are not considered carriers and do not need to query the carrier interface.”

It is also complete and utter BS.

Good. That is what the original post said, but it does not make sense.

So in that case, is Ryan Air simply once again looking for publicity or do they have a case?

The way I understand it, you get the ETIAS and with it, you are free to travel for it’s validity. And only the time between application of the ETIAS and it’s issue may be at most 48 hours? So basically it works like ESTA in the US.

What’s the latest on this? Looks like Eurostar has been getting ready for EES in October 6th.

Will places like Le Touquet have it installed or Montpellier? I guess the only benefit is not running out of pages for stamps?
