Velana International Airport (VIA) officially announces Smart Gates at the airport. This key-accomplishment was achieved today in collaboration with the Maldives Customs Services. With this new development, travellers can expect additional convenience when it comes to transits through VIA.
In addition to enhancing efficiency, these smart gates will also improve security and risk management in customs clearance. Smartgates utilize ePassports and facial recognition features. This allows the technology to check the passenger’s identity through the biometric chip inserted into the passport. With this, immigration clearance can cross-check the information through their database. In addition to the safety, the Smart Gates will provide convenience when it comes to easy access.
The new addition is set to improve the customer experience, making it easier to get access to the Maldives. The Smart Gates are one of the many additional improvements travellers will see when it comes to VIA. The airport is currently undergoing major development plans, which will improve and increase travellers in the country.
