- This groundbreaking initiative allows travelers to clear immigration checks within seconds without the need to present passports or other physical documents. The system leverages artificial intelligence and biometric data, like facial recognition, to verify identities in real-time as passengers walk through a designated path.
- The system can process up to 10 passengers simultaneously in as little as 14 seconds, significantly cutting down waiting times and increasing efficiency.
- This AI-powered corridor is a key component of Dubai's "Travel Without Borders" program and "Unlimited Smart Travel" initiative, which aims to eventually eliminate traditional passport control altogether
