An e-Passport is a chip-enabled passport that allows biometric identification and document verification without any human intervention.
Sanjiv Kapoor, the CEO designate of Jet Airways, on Tuesday, shared his unique travel experience at the London Heathrow airport on Twitter. He revealed that he was able to clear his arrival immigration at the airport in just 10 seconds through the E-enabled passport Kiosk.
“Cleared London Heathrow arrivals immigration in 10 seconds thru the e-passport kiosks. Global Entry-enrolled? Clear US arrival immigration in 10 seconds using facial recognition. No departure immigration for the UK and US. This is the way to go, Digital!” Kapoor wrote on Twitter.
