The implementation timelines for the European Union’s ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System)&nbsp;and EES (Entry/Exit System) have been delayed again.&nbsp;Originally set to launch in 2022,&nbsp;EES will require operators to electronically verify visa validity for third-country nationals traveling to the EU. This system replaces manual passport stamping and aims to improve tracking of visitor entry, exit, and overstay status.&nbsp;The new scheduled start date is Oct. 1, 2025.&nbsp;ETIAS&nbsp;is an online pre-travel and pre-boarding requirement applying to visa-exempt third-country nationals planning to travel to European states. The&nbsp;new scheduled start date is not exact but won’t occur before late 2026.&nbsp;International business aviation flight planning organizations believe both programs will apply to passenger-carrying private and charter flights into the EU.
