G7: Schengen stop from Wed to May 30
Get to airport earlier - ENAC
(ANSA) - Rome, May 8 - Schengena-area border controls will be
reintroduced from Wednesday until May 30 to ensure the "orderly
execution" of a G7 finance summit in Bari May 11-13 and the G7
summit in Taormina May 26-27, civil aviation authority ENAC said
Monday, urging travellers to get to the airport earlier as their
ID documents will take longer to be checked.
ENAC hosted a meeting on the issue Monday with officials from
the interior ministry, representatives of the Assaeroporti
airport management group, the Italian Board of Airline
Representatives (IBAR), and officials from the International Air
Transport Association (IATA).
ENAC has already asked Italian and foreign airlines to inform
their passengers, both on their websites and via all other
possible means, and has called on the air transport sector to
provide "collaboration and responsibility in applying the most
suitable measures to cut to the minimum the impact of the
reintroduction of passport controls, so that air transport
activities may be carried out with promptness and regular
execution of operations".
