EES can’t cause delays at airports where it hasn’t even started yet, AMS isn’t starting until November and it’ll be a slow start and will ramp up over a month or so.
No machines working today in CDG T1 or T2. Was in transit but deliberately landed myself to register and was unable to. When I enquired as to why I received the customary Gallic 🤷

Also and rather oddly, everyone had to have hold and cabin baggage x rayed as they exited customs. Very slow at 3pm
Just one of 6 banks of machines at CDG that were not working 4/11/25
