The chief executive officer of Franco-Dutch airline group Air France-KLM urged French authorities on Saturday to take “urgent” measures to reduce delays for passengers caused by security checks at Paris airports. Janaillac told Reuters in an interview he had written to the French interior minister urging him to take quick measures. Janaillac called on French authorities to allow a greater use of facial recognition technologies that exist in London or Amsterdam, hire more air and border police and to ease on passport checks to some destinations. The French interior ministry did not immediately respond to a request for a comment. “Traffic, as is the case for all companies, is indeed dynamic right now,” Janaillac said on the sidelines of an economic forum in Aix-en-Provence.
