Passengers traveling to Non-Schengen and arriving from Non-Schengen countries will benefit from the reduced processing time and the spacious, modern area. Approximately 20% of the passengers flying from and to Luxembourg Airport enter or exit via the border control. Moreover, this figure might increase due to the addition of new destinations, like Ra\u2019s al-Chaima, in the United Arab Emirates operated by Luxair from October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Increasing the number of border control lanes from 3 to 9 at the Immigration and from 3 to 8 at the Emigration, will address this increasing demand. \u201cWith the implementation of the automated border control gates, we followed our common goal to increase the service to the passengers while maintaining our safe borders.\u201d underlines Etienne Schneider, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy and Internal Security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRe-designing the border control gates at Luxembourg Airport was crucial for staying a modern and safe airport. With the new and additional gates, we will speed up the passport control for all passengers in this area. \u201c explains Francois Bausch, Minister for Sustainable Development and Infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new area is a perfect example how, together with our partners, we use technology to reach the goals of our airport concept, combining all the comfort of big airports with the relaxed travel experience of smaller, regional airports.\u201d, adds Ren\u00e9 Steinhaus, CEO ad interim lux-Airport.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7756\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Minister Francois Bausch and Deputy Prime Minister Etienne Schneider test the new ABC-Gates at Luxembourg Airport. wp-image-7756\" title=\"Minister Francois Bausch and Deputy Prime Minister Etienne Schneider test the new ABC-Gates at Luxembourg Airport. \" src=\"https:\/\/www.lux-airport.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/580726-opening-abc-gates-luxairport-V04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Minister Francois Bausch and Deputy Prime Minister Etienne Schneider test the new ABC-Gates at Luxembourg Airport.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Facts &amp;
