THE biometric pass system
has been introduced at
Istanbul Atatürk Airport.
The e-gate system offers
passport control through
fingerprint testing, easing
passenger flow at the airport.
The system has been
added at four passport
control points, two of which
are at the international
terminal on the arrivals
floor and the other two at
the international terminal
departures floor. The number
of the cabinets is expected
to increase to 12 at both
departures and arrivals floors
by the end of the year.
“The system is anticipated
to solve problems of false
passport usage and long
queues and also the number
of passport police forces will
be minimised,” the airport
said. It is also expected
to solve problems of false
passport usage and long
queues.
Facial recognition will also
be integrated to the system
in the future.
“The system lets the
passenger pass through the
cabinet in 21 seconds at
maximum and the time is
expected to decrease to 15
seconds when the system
is got used to,” the airport
said
