Facial Recognition To Replace Boarding Pass at Abu Dhabi Airport
According to the Khaleej Times, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented biometric face recognition at the Abu Dhabi airport, where a passenger’s face will serve as his boarding authorization instead of his passport or ticket.
Face recognition is the new boarding pass
The new cutting-edge technology has enabled the airport to deliver quality service to travelers and to be the first international airport to give biometric capabilities across all touchpoints. According to Khaleej Times, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) launched a biometric service at Abu Dhabi Airport in last December, allowing travelers to use their faces as boarding permits instead of passports or tickets. Currently, the ideas will be examined in pilot programs at a few airport locations.
Khaleej Times reports that an Abu Dhabi technology company, will launch its cutting-edge AI solutions alongside global few partners at a few self-service luggage checkpoints, immigration e-gates, and boarding gates before rolling out the technology to the whole airport.
Enhanced travel experience
Thanks to modern technology, the Midfield Terminal Building will be the first international airport to offer biometric capabilities at all touchpoints. According to Ibrahim Al Mannaee, the biometrics initiative is a critical component of the Emirate’s digital transformation plan. “Abu Dhabi Airport’s goal of operating the most technologically advanced airport in the world will be one step closer to reality once this project is finished, making it the first airport in the region to deploy biometric solutions at every point of contact with passengers.
When completed, the program will provide travelers with a “curb-to-gate” journey that is smooth, orderly, contactless, and sanitary. Khaleej Times claims that customers would experience shorter queues and shorter wait times as a result. Eng Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, MD and CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “The phase one deployment of advanced biometrics at Abu Dhabi International Airport further demonstrates our commitment to reshaping airport experiences in the future by delivering technology that fosters efficiency, convenience, and service excellence. Abu Dhabi will have the first airport in the world that uses biometric technology at every step of the passenger journey once construction is finished, ensuring a trouble-free, secure trip for everyone.”
According to Khaleej Times, high-tech biometric cameras will be installed at the airport’s self-service luggage drop, passport control, business class lounge, and boarding gates to check passenger data. “Technology that facilitates hassle-free, stress-free travel at every level will be the backbone of the airport of the future,” says , Hani El Assaad. This recent update highlights Smart Path’s ability to provide a seamless travel experience, with a passenger’s face serving as their boarding card at every stage of the process, from check-in to boarding.” “This collaboration uses contactless biometric Technology to satisfy the client with a superior airport experience without compromising safety in any way,” said Osama Al Makharmeh. This shows our capacity to continually innovate to maintain customer trust and pave the way for even safer and more comfortable future travel.”
Biometric turnkey project
Implementing such solutions is no joking matter; it takes a significant amount of time and effort, not to mention the technological difficulties that follow it. As a result, many people choose biometrics turnkey solutions. Because biometric projects are notoriously difficult to complete, it seems reasonable that you would want to check at biometric turnkey solutions suppliers.
