Lusa - Business News - Cabo Verde: E-gates being installed at international airports

Praia, Nov.20,2020(Lusa)- Praia airport started on Friday the experimental phase of the automated biometric control process at air borders ('eGates'), which is now available for passengers arriving in Cabo Verde.

The announcement was made by the Cape Verdean ministry of internal affairs, indicating that the 'eGates' can now be used by national citizens holding Cape Verdean e-passport, who are over 12 years old.

"Soon this service will also be available to citizens of a number of countries, with ePassports, who arrive in Cabo Verde with valid pre-registration, done on the 'online' platform www.ease.gov.cv.", the source added.

The Cabo Verde government said the introduction of automated border control was an important reinforcement of border security and an improvement in the standards of efficiency and effectiveness of border units.

"The implementation of 'eGates' means confirmation of facial biometric recognition will become another component of border control, along with verification of the other conditions for entry into the country, validation of the authenticity of the passport and passenger data, verification of the absence of precautionary measures or other legal prohibitions and, specifically in the case of non-resident foreign citizens, confirmation of the information provided at pre-registration," the m Ministry added.

In addition to raising the level of security, the government also said that 'eGates' will have a direct and positive impact on reducing passenger waiting time (average of 10 seconds per person).

The measure will also minimise crowds and other constraints on entering the country, contributing to the idea of Cabo Verde as a safe country and tourist destination.

The ministry also said that the trial period at Praia airport would last one month and that the process of installing 'eGates' at the country's other international airports was underway.

Cabo Verde suspended international connections on 18 March due to restrictions imposed by Covid-19, and on 12 October again authorised regular commercial passenger flights, but without the return of the tourist flights from the major operators, which promoted the archipelago's sun and beach destination.

Tourism guarantees 25% of the country's Gross Domestic Product and reached a record of 819,000 tourists in 2019.

In October, Cabo Verde's airports handled more than 22,800 passengers, maintaining their monthly recovery after the almost total stop until July, but have already lost one and a half million passengers in 2020, according to the traffic bulletin of the public company Aeroportos e Segurança Aérea.
