Punta del Este Airport incorporated biometric touchpoints with state-of-the-art technology to expedite an agile, easier and safer immigration process. The self-service security process in the airport will leverage the power of AI and automation.
The system includes the installation of two electronic gateways to automate the security control and validation of boarding passes, and the incorporation of two ABC (Automated Border Control) biometric immigration gateways in the Arrivals and Departures areas, which are now fully operational for inbound or outbound travellers.
“Technology is a fundamental ally to enhance the services we offer to our passengers, giving them the possibility of living a superior experience, increasingly comfortable and agile, while guaranteeing the highest levels of safety,” said Alejandro Rivero, manager general of the Punta del Este Airport.
The service is also implemented at Carrasco Airport, replicating the time cut for immigration processes to just 15 seconds.
The incorporation of the biometric gateways, carried out together with the Uruguayan company EC Solutions, is on top of other actions implemented by Aeropuertos Uruguay to deliver a full transformation of the facilities in Laguna del Sauce.
