At Stockholm-Arlanda airport, the border police had to struggle with technical problems. This resulted in a woman having to wait over an hour and therefore missing her flight. The police have covered the cost of her replacement ticket.

It is said to be the equivalent of 165 euros, which the woman had to pay additionally. This money would have been reimbursed to her by the executive branch. This procedure is extremely rare because, from a legal point of view, there is no right to compensation if you miss your flight due to delays in official passport controls.
