Following extensive testing, Samarkand International Airport has launched the first E-gate border control system in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The automated border control system is based on biometric technologies and provides for automatic identification of the person and allows for a quick and safe border crossing with minimal involvement of border control officers. After extensive testing, the Border Control Unit of the State Security Service chose to install the system at Samarkand International Airport. The E-gate border control system announcement came just after a month of announcing a contract with TAV Technologies to fully digitalize the airport’s operations. Air Marakanda follows international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, and international best practice in its operations generally.
