Just before tens of thousands of Israelis will fill the airport during the Passover holiday, tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) automatic check-in stations were installed that are supposed to ease the long lines at the main exit gate from Israel.
The automatic stations are one of the creative solutions to deal with a severe lack of workers at the airport. They were ordered a few months ago and will allow a check-in process without meeting the ground attendants. However, the check-in stations will not be activated immediately and the airport is very hopeful that they will be able to operate them properly by Passover, in exactly one month.

According to the website of SITA, the company that provided the check-in stations to the Israeli government, the process should take less than one minute for each passenger. This is a system that will support biometric passport holders. According to the data obtained by Israel Hayom, only about half of Israelis have a biometric passport.
The number of passengers during Passover is expected to be high and may reach over 80,000 people who will pass through Israel in one day. These numbers are reminiscent of those of the previous summer, and if the new check-in stations are not operated effectively by then, combined with the severe shortage of workers, There is a high probability that we will see long queues in the National Bank of Israel in the coming weeks.
