Cochin [India], July 26: Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) is set to become the second airport in India to implement the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA)'s prestigious Trusted Traveller Programme, facilitating a seamless immigration process through self-authentication at specially designed smart gates at immigration counters. Following the roll-out at Delhi International Airport in June, CIAL has begun an infrastructure makeover at the immigration area, dedicating 8 lanes to biometric e-gates, enabling international travellers to complete the immigration process by themselves in 20 seconds. This state-of-the-art facility will be launched by August 2024.
