E-gates have been installed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri, to streamline processing for incoming passengers.
A release today from CJIA said that the key features include autonomous immigration processing that performs security checks on passports worldwide; validation of chip passports according to International Civil Aviation Organisation standards, with future support for Guyana’s e-ID and facial recognition technology for identity verification using an advanced algorithm.
It is also integrated with the ABIS system for real-time passenger updates, with automated checks for ED form correctness. It has the capacity to process six passengers simultaneously with oversight from a single officer.
The release said that the enhanced security measures will prevent unauthorised access and allow complete visibility for officers through glass panels. It also features a monitoring station for effective passenger flow management and automatic detention of watchlisted individuals.
These improvements aim to reduce processing times and enhance overall airport efficiency significantly, the release said.
