The General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, in cooperation with Dubai Airports, has launched the "Red Carpet" corridor at Dubai International Airport, a world-first service that allows travelers to complete passport procedures within a few seconds without the need to present any travel documents, with the ability to process up to 10 travelers at the same time through the smart corridor.
The corridor relies on artificial intelligence and biometric recognition systems, with data processed in advance to verify travelers' identities, and the crossing takes place without stopping or presenting documents, while special cases are referred for manual review, maintaining the highest security standards, according to the Emirates News Agency.
Estimates indicate that the new corridor completes the crossing in 6 to 14 seconds per traveler, at a rate of up to 10 people at once, compared with traditional methods that process one traveler at a time, reducing waiting times and boosting the airport's capacity.
The launch of the "Red Carpet" comes as part of Dubai's efforts to strengthen its global position in smart travel and to consolidate Dubai International Airport's status as the world's busiest airport for international traffic for the 11th consecutive year, reflecting the emirate's commitment to innovation and to adopting the latest technologies to serve travelers.
