Managed by industry leader Aeris, the airport is set to transform both the passenger experience and operational processes, making it a preferred choice for 69% of travelers to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airport introduces 45 advanced self-check-in kiosks, raising the total count to a whopping 75. These user-friendly kiosks simplify registration, boarding pass issuance, and baggage checks. They’re designed to reduce waiting times significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the “Self Bag Drop” feature is set to redefine convenience. Passengers can now swiftly drop off their luggage under watchful eyes, with systems ensuring accurate luggage tracking through weight and tag checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering the U.S. as one of its major markets, the airport is enhancing its services for U.S.-bound flights. Soon, passengers will experience swift boarding processes, thanks to new biometric systems. These systems will match travelers\u2019 faces with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office\u2019s database, cutting down boarding times by about half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airport environment gets a facelift with 106 new display screens, soon to be upgraded to 43-inch monitors. To ensure smooth processes, 147 immigration officers will man 44 control stations, ensuring swift and hassle-free passenger movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the best experience, passengers are advised to arrive 3-4 hours before their flights. This recommendation takes into account local traffic conditions. Utilizing mobile check-in can further streamline the airport journey, helping passengers glide through the various checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
