E-gates open at Dhaka airport

The Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is believed to be the first international airport in South Asia to launch an Automatic Border Control System (e-gate). 

According to Daily Bangladesh, since June 7, the use of e-gates has allowed travellers who hold e-passports to pass through immigration in 18 seconds. There are 12 e-gates in departures and three in arrivals.
