During his visit, Naqvi inspected the immigration process and spoke directly with passengers about their experience, including the time taken for immigration clearance and the facilities available at the airport.
The interior minister praised the efforts of the institutions and officials involved, saying that opening such a large additional immigration area within 15 days was the result of their hard work.
He said increasing the number of immigration lines to 20 would significantly reduce waiting times for passengers. The additional counters would also help authorities manage crowds more effectively, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Naqvi said the new arrangements were aimed at providing passengers with faster immigration clearance without unnecessary delays during periods of heavy traffic.
During the inspection, an FIA officer stopped a passenger who had incomplete travel documents. Naqvi appreciated the officer for carrying out his duty and directed immigration officials to thoroughly check passengers’ documents.
