For those who are still not encouraged, how does Migraciones Express work? – 19/02/2019

And there, on one side, the machines look empty.

Until someone consults, another answers or before the avalanche of personal migrants, people walk among the pbadengers and route them to the automated system. We are talking about Migrations Express, the biometric door system that almost a year ago – April 23 – was launched at the airport.
