A delegation from M2P Consulting, comprising local and international experts, visited the headquarters of the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) to formally launch the planning, design, and installation of e-gates at Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi airports.
Prior to the signing, talks were held to discuss key technical and operational aspects of the project, presided over by Deputy Director General Airports Sadiq ur Rehman and Deputy Director General Works and Development Sumair Saeed.
An agreement signing ceremony followed, where the agreement was inked by Mr. Christophe Mostert, Managing Partner of M2P Consulting, and Mr. Kashif S. Jillani, Director Engineering Services, PAA.
The entire process—including planning, design, implementation, and installation—is scheduled for completion within 24 months. The consultants will provide technical supervision and guide contractors selected through a competitive tendering process.
Key discussions included the integration of the e-gate system with ICAO protocols and local airport agency systems. Once implemented, the e-gates will significantly enhance passenger security, introduce automated control, and reduce reliance on manual processing, ensuring a smoother travel experience.
Surveys at Lahore and Islamabad airports are complete, while the survey at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport begins tomorrow. The event was attended by senior PAA officials, including Directors of Planning, Development, and Engineering Services.
