Where are the e-gates located?
Travelers at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi can now enjoy a smoother journey thanks to the Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP). This program is operational at Terminal 3, which houses eight e-gates—four designated for arrivals and four for departures. These e-gates enable swift immigration clearance for passengers, making the process easier for both incoming and outgoing travelers. Excitingly, plans are in motion to introduce similar facilities at other international airports across India, amplifying convenience for air travel enthusiasts.
