In an important step toward making travel easier and faster, Dubai International Airport has introduced a new service that allows some passengers to go through immigration without needing to stop for identity checks. This means that the travel process can now be smoother and quicker for selected travelers.
The new service is called “Unlimited Smart Travel” and it was launched during Dubai AI Week. It is currently available in the First and Business Class lounges at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. The program was developed by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai.
This system uses advanced facial recognition technology powered by artificial intelligence to verify the identity of travelers. Instead of waiting in long lines and showing documents to immigration officers, passengers can simply walk through smart gates where their faces are scanned quickly and securely. The technology makes it possible for the system to identify up to ten people at a time, which helps save time and reduces crowding.
According to the GDRFA, this new service is part of their efforts to improve the overall travel experience. They said that the goal is to raise the quality of life for travelers and make travel procedures more efficient. By using smart technology, they aim to make travel not only faster but also more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
Officials describe this initiative as a major step forward in the use of digital tools for transportation. It increases trust in modern travel systems and also benefits airport staff by reducing the number of steps needed to process each traveler. This means both travelers and workers at the airport can enjoy a smoother and more pleasant experience.
Dubai continues to show leadership in using new technologies to improve daily life, and this smart travel service is a strong example of that commitment.
