The government on Wednesday decided to introduce a single-point checking system at airports to enhance passenger facilitation and reduce delays.
Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi chaired a high-level meeting in Islamabad aimed at developing a joint strategy between the ministries of defence and interior to improve airport operations and public convenience.
The meeting reviewed joint measures to enhance passenger facilitation at Islamabad and other airports and decided to ensure stronger coordination among all relevant agencies. Officials approved the installation of advanced screening machinery to improve the checking system. It was further agreed that joint counters would be established, introducing a single-point checking mechanism to reduce delays. Progress on installing e-gates was also assessed.
Naqvi emphasised providing passengers with faster clearance and easier travel procedures. “A unified checking system on a single scanner will save significant time,” he noted, adding that better coordination among institutions was essential to reduce crowding and long queues at airports.
