LISBON, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Immigration control waiting time at Lisbon airport exceeded seven hours on Tuesday, resulting in operational losses for airlines and missed passenger connections. Travelers report that border control delays have intensified since the pandemic, reaching their worst levels during the end-of-year holiday period.
Tuesday's delays are the latest in a series of severe bottlenecks at Humberto Delgado Airport, Portugal's main international hub. Waiting time has recently climbed to nearly nine hours, leaving crowds of exhausted travelers stuck in overcrowded corridors.
