I was at EZE yesterday to greet a (very) special client of mine and was at the aircraft gate (together with a dedicated AA2000 personal escort with us at all times). The conversation with the AA person was very interesting, from many things including the not completed new ATC tower, to new lounges, etc. He explained that the plan is to transition to 100% e-gate processing (both in & out) for all modern passports but that they are still working on glitches with the software and need to expand e lanes and buy new machines, create new websites for passengers to complete steps online prior to arrival, etc. etc.

Apparently the goal is to leave manual/human processing for less than 1% of all arrivals & departures by the second semester of 2027. Funnily enough, the AA2000 was more skeptical and I on meeting that deadline..... LOL
