The new e-gates at Naples International Airport have reduced the border control processing time to an average of 20 seconds per passenger.
Passengers from within the European Union arriving at Naples International Airport can now make use of automated border control e-gates.
The e-gates use facial recognition technology to confirm that the passenger is the passport holder, while fingerprint verification technology has been built in to add an extra layer of security when required.
The airport has partnered with SITA on the project and says the e-gates have reduced the processing time to 20 seconds per passenger. It is estimated that more than 2,000 passengers per day will make use of the new gates.
“The new technology has helped improve the passenger experience at Naples Airport by speeding them through immigration while ensuring that we meet the highest security standards at Italy’s borders. The ABCGates are really a win-win technology for airports,” comments Alessandro Fidato, Director of Infrastructure & Operations at Naples International Airport.
Giuseppe Musto, Head of Innovation & Automation at Naples International Airport, adds: “We have introduced another step in the passenger journey at Naples Airport, with a focus on quality and in accordance with the recent regulatory evolution in Italy.”
