The government intends to construct new smart gates at Pakistan’s main airports, making exiting the nation easier.
The principal aviation regulatory authority in Pakistan, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), has sent an invitation to companies to tender for the installation of electronic gates at its three main airports: Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
The project’s goal is to build a self-service immigration system at airports in order to reduce expenses and raise customer satisfaction. According to the CAA’s bid materials, the system will be installed at the airports’ arrival and departure gates and use cutting-edge technologies to verify passengers’ identities.
“It is intended to modernize its border control in light of growing passenger numbers and recent airport expansion.”
According to the Civil Aviation Authority, the effort will reduce the amount of work that staffed immigration counters have to undertake and provide a uniform automated immigration process that includes personal authentication and document verification in order to preserve border security and integrity.
