E-Gates to Be Introduced at Chattogram Airport

After 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 (November 15, 2022) 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.

Passengers can easily pass through the E-gates as the gates will be opened automatically after submitting 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 of Chattogram's Shah Amanat International Airport will identify air passengers after scanning the e-passport. And the process ensures high security during the verification of travel documents, said authorities._UNB
