HIA streamlines travel procedures by enabling children to use e-gates

HIA continues to streamline travel procedures for families by allowing children to use electronic gates (e-gates) as part of ongoing efforts to enhance passenger convenience. For parents with little children, this option has greatly shortened wait times and enhanced the overall airport experience.

The e-gates provide a very effective and safe substitute for conventional immigration counters with its advanced technologies like facial recognition, iris scanning, and ten-print fingerprinting. 

A youngster must be seven years of age or older and between 120 and 130 cm tall in order to be qualified for e-gate use. Additionally, a clear, system-registered photo on the child's passport or national ID is required so that the gate's sophisticated biometric technologies can accurately recognize their face. 

Getting a child's travel authorization through the Metrash mobile application is another crucial step in the procedure that needs to be finished by a parent or legal guardian before to travel. This permits seamless automated processing at the gate and guarantees adherence to legal travel regulations.
