Lahore, 1st January: Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will install e-gates at the airports in Pakistan.
Baaghi TV: According to reports, CAA has announced that it will install e-gates across the country’s major airports, enabling the passengers to escape the hassle of waiting in long queues for their boarding passes.
E-gate is a self-automated service option which facilitates the passengers by scanning their passports before issuing them their boarding passes. E-gate is equipped with the technology to conduct facial recognition and fingerprint check of passengers.
Before the travellers are issued boarding passes, they will only have their passports and tickets scanned at the e-gates. In the first phase of the operation, CAA has announced that e-gates will be installed at airports in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
Meanwhile, the government has ensured that foreigners who want to apply for a Pakistani visa can do so online now.
