KARACHI: Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) on Tuesday decided to install Electronic gates (E-gates) at airports across Pakistan.

Following the decision to install E-gates, PCAA has reportedly initiated the first phase of the E-gate project in the three major international airports including Islamabad, Allama Iqbal, and Jinnah International Airport.

This project will be completed under the supervision of the Aviation Secretary and the Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority (DGCAA).

Sources indicate that suggestions have also been obtained from different national institutions including the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) passports and FIA immigration – related to the E-gate project.
