The UK has begun rolling out a new contactless border system across its airports. The move means eligible passengers arriving in the country will soon be able to pass through airport e-gates without presenting their passports.
Initially only available for British citizens, the initiative was launched at East Midlands Airport in England this week. In a statement, the government said it plans to upgrade all the country’s e-gates by early 2027 and expand its accessibility to other eligible nationalities.
