Sisimulan na ng New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) pag-activate ng bagong biometric immigration e-Gates sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) ngayong Disyembre.
"The eGates — powered by Amadeus, a global travel-technology provider, and to be operated by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) — form part of an automated border-control system using passport-scanning and facial-recognition technology to reduce wait times and improve throughput," saad ng NNIC sa isang pahayag nitong Sabado, Nobyembre 22.
Ang naturang bagong e-Gates ay ide-deploy sa Terminal 1 at 3, kung saan nire-require ang mga immigration check.
Magsisimula ang first phase, anila, ngayong Disyembre at minamatahan ang full deployment nito sa susunod na taon.

"Once activated, NNIC said the system will complement the biometric passenger touchpoints that NNIC has been rolling out across check-in, security screening, and boarding," saad pa ng NNIC.
Samantala, ayon kay NNIC President Ramon S. Ang, ang layunin ng bagong immigration e-Gates ay para sa komportableng karanasan ng mga pasahero.
“Our goal is to make each part of the airport experience more comfortable for passengers,” ani Ang.
“These e-Gates will help reduce bottlenecks at immigration and support the broader improvements we have been introducing across NAIA," dagdag pa niya.
Noong nakaraang taon, tinatayang nasa mahigit 50 milyong pasahero ang naitala ng NAIA.
