Frequent foreign visitors to Dubai may save their time from long lines for eye scan at airport as a new system is being rolled out in Dubai Airports.
An automatic registration system enabled by advanced cameras will do the eye scan of all passengers, easing the passenger flow and saving their time, Emirates News Agency, WAM reported.
Through the new system, the passengers’ biometric data (iris and facial recognition features) will be recorded and stored on the system automatically on their first entry through Dubai Airports.
This means on their second visit onwards they will not need to go through eye scan again.
“We are launching the new system under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to develop services in all government entities and institutions for achieving the first rank in customer services,” Major General Mohammed Al Marri, Director General of GDRFA Dubai, told WAM.
A total of 122 Smart Gates are already installed in four Dubai Airports terminals easing the passport control procedures within 9 to 15 seconds.
