Belgrade Airport to get passport eGates by year’s end
NEWS FLASH
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport will introduce eGates or automated self-service passport control by the end of the year, which will enable passengers to simply scan their travel documents to be passed through for facial recognition. According to the Serbian Minister for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure, the new technology has been ordered by the Interior Ministry and will be installed at the airport by the end of December. It will complement manual passport control. Legislation had to be modified to enable the usage of the equipment. Earlier this year, the Minister noted that, during the first phase of its implementation, the eGates will be accessible to passengers traveling to and from the European Union. The eGates are expected to be installed both on departures and arrivals. eGates usually involve a two-step process. Passengers first scan their passport after which the first gate opens. The traveller’s photo is then taken for facial recognition, after which a second gate is opened, and the passenger can continue onwards with their journey.
