NAIA to roll out new immigration e-gates starting December
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will begin phasing in biometric e-gates starting December 2025 to enhance passenger processing.
The project, led by San Miguel-backed New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), aims to improve efficiency at the country's main international gateway.
These e-gates are powered by Amadeus, a global travel-technology provider, and will be operated by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
The system utilizes passport-scanning and facial-recognition technology to reduce wait times and increase passenger throughput.
The e-gates will be deployed in NAIA's Terminals 1 and 3, where international passengers undergo immigration checks.
The initial rollout is set for December 2025, with full implementation anticipated by early next year.
This initiative is funded by NNIC and supported by operational components from the BI, complementing NAIA's ongoing modernization efforts.
The new e-gates will work in conjunction with existing biometric passenger touchpoints for check-in, security screening, and boarding.
