Canary Islands warning as British tourists hit by huge queues moments after landing

This is not the first time this summer that there have been long delays in Spanish airports (Image: Getty) Travelers to Lanzarote are being warned of significant delays upon arrival due to long queues at passport control, especially affecting British visitors. The Lanzarote Cabildo has called on the Spanish government to increase the number of National Police officers at Lanzarote Airport to address these operational delays. Since the UK left the EU, British tourists must have their passports stamped when entering and leaving the island, leading to longer wait times.

The island's governing body stressed the urgent need for more National Police and Guardia Civil officers to manage the surge in tourists, not only at arrivals but also at departures. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
