A “red carpet” for all passengers at Dubai Airport soon

Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths confirmed that Dubai International Airport is taking rapid steps towards ending the scene of traditional queues by adopting facial recognition and biometrics systems, adding that “it will not be long before we generalize the smart red carpet tunnel” to include all airport guests, “which will contribute to significantly reducing waiting times and giving travelers more time to enjoy their flights.”

Griffiths stated, on his account on the LinkedIn platform, that “Biometric technologies enable us to continue improving the experience of our guests, making movement through our buildings smoother than ever before,” adding: “Waiting in lines at Dubai Airport has become a thing of the past – and quickly.”

He added that the “Smart Red Carpet Tunnel” constitutes an advanced model for facilitating the movement of passengers, as their faces are automatically recognized while passing through the tunnel and they are given the green light to immediately cross without the need for additional inspection procedures.
