Chattogram airport to get e-gates for faster immigration

After the opening of E-gates at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, six electronic gates will be introduced at Chattogram Shah Amanat International Airport.

The E-gates will be inaugurated on Tuesday to make the immigration process faster and improve the quality of services, said Wing Commander Taslim Ahmed, director of the airport on Monday.

The E-gates will be managed by immigration police and camera will be installed in each gate, reports UNB.

Passengers can easily pass through the E-gates as the gates will be opened automatically after submitting an e-passport and the whole process will be completed within 30 seconds, said airport authorities.

Earlier on June 7, twelve E-gates were inaugurated at Dhaka Airport.

E-passports have an in-built microprocessor chip containing details of the holder. The e-gates will identify air passengers after scanning the e-passport. And the process ensures high security during the verification of travel documents, said authorities.
