Solution
We managed the initiative to deploy the new Border Management System in the current terminal and coordinated with the vendors to ensure implementation of the Border Management System and eGates in the new airport.
- Vendor relationships

The project was successful, and the airport opened on time with the ability to process passengers in spite of a Global pandemic.
