Karachi : Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has successfully concluded the design phase of the e-Gates project for Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore international airports, following an intensive three-day series of workshops and consultations with key stakeholders.
The e-Gates initiative aims to introduce biometric-based automated border control at major airports to significantly enhance passenger facilitation, reduce wait times, and improve security.
The detailed design work, conducted in collaboration with international aviation experts and relevant agencies, sets the foundation for the next phase. Now, German consultancy M2P Consulting, engaged by PAA for technical support, will move forward with the development of comprehensive technical specifications and tender documents to invite proposals from top-tier global e-Gate providers.
The project reflects Pakistan Airports Authority’s vision to integrate smart technologies into airport operations, ensuring seamless and secure travel experiences for passengers through Pakistan’s busiest aviation hubs.
