Passengers at Pristina International Airport once again faced long queues on Sunday morning, with travellers waiting up to an hour just to enter the departures area, where boarding passes are checked.
According to footage obtained by Nacionale, large numbers of passengers had gathered between the security barriers, waiting in line to pass through the electronic gates. Some expressed concern about whether they would make it in time for their scheduled flights.
The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the airport was operating below full capacity. Of the available checkpoints, only a few were open, while the remaining ones were closed.
Long queues at the airport are not unusual, particularly on days with heavy passenger traffic and during peak hours when several flights depart simultaneously.
However, the closure of several checkpoints during busy periods raises questions about capacity management and the organization of passenger services.
Pristina Airport is operated under a concession agreement by the Turkish company Limak. Passengers continue to face lengthy waiting times, highlighting the need for sufficient facilities and staffing to handle passenger volumes and ensure that no one risks missing their flight because of long queues.
