YOUR FACE IS NOW YOUR NEW PASSPORT

GDRFA-Dubai has introduced the ‘Biometric Passenger Journey’ system at Dubai Airports that will allow travellers to walk through the airport touchpoints by just showing their faces.

The new service enables the passengers to complete passport control procedures in 5 to 9 seconds.

Passengers can opt between smart gates or the new smart tunnel system. They can choose to use their Emirates ID or enter by showing their face at the gates. Pre-registration is required to avail the service.
