In the sense of "line" = "queue", I would say "in the line".
There may be regional differences with this.

Hi,
Which one is correct: They met in/on/at the line of passport control at the airport.
Thanks.

In BrE, "They met in the queue for immigration" or "They met in the queue for passport control".
In AmE (I believe), "They met in the line ..."

You can but it has a slightly different connotation. "They met up" suggests that they arranged to meet there (and a queue would be a strange place to meet up). "The met in the queue..." means that they encountered each other for the first time there.
They met in the queue for passport control and now, twelve years later, they have four children and are about to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary.
