Bulgaria and Romania will officially join the Schengen zone for arrivals by air from March 31.

However, Austria has maintained its stance on the inclusion of these countries by land and has prevented the opening of its land borders.

“Schengen membership means that those legally staying in member countries can move freely without passport checks. However, the membership of Romania and Bulgaria is exceptional – the removal of passport checks only applies to air and sea transport,” said Finnish authorities in Romania.

This development means that passport controls applied to air and sea transport between Bulgaria and Romania and other Schengen countries will be abolished. Bulgaria and Romania will begin issuing Schengen C visas from April 1.

Munich Airport unveils self-driving snack robot.

Munich Airport is testing an innovative new way of selling snacks to passengers, with JEEVES, a new robot.

JEEVES offers a collection of soft drinks and snacks that can be purchased using Apple Pay, Google Pay and all major credit cards. The snackbot will move through the gate area on levels 4 and 5 at Terminal 2.

Customers need only step into JEEVES’ path to get the robot to stop, then they can make a purchase using the large touch screen.

This self-driving robot was originally developed by Munich-based start-up, Robotise for use in the healthcare and hospitality industries. It is the first time it will be used as an airport snackbot.

Doha - Hamad International Airport in Doha has introduced dedicated family screening lanes for passengers travelling with young children.

Designated play areas have already been rolled out throughout the airport, and this is the latest initiative to improve the experience of passengers with children.

The dedicated family lanes are designed to significantly reduce waiting times and enhance travel experiences. They are currently being tested in the airport’s transfer screening area, and if the trials are successful, the lanes will be expanded to other security points throughout the airport.

Hamad International Airport is recognised for its commitment to family-friendly travel and has various facilities specifically designed to accommodate travellers with children.

The airport has said it will collect customer feedback and suggestions on improving the dedicated lanes.
