Dubai International Airport is set to revolutionize the arrival experience with the expansion of its ‘Red Carpet’ biometric service to Terminal 3 within the next two months. This innovative system, already operational for departures, enables passengers to breeze through passport control in as little as six seconds, leveraging real-time biometric data processing. Majed Al Joker, Chief Operating Officer at Dubai Airports, highlighted the service’s ability to handle groups of up to ten passengers simultaneously, significantly enhancing efficiency and reducing wait times. The Red Carpet corridor eliminates the need for physical travel documents, offering a seamless and contactless journey. Al Joker emphasized the airport’s commitment to integrating advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, to optimize operations and decision-making processes. He also noted the airport’s record-breaking passenger numbers, projecting over 95.2 million travelers by year-end. Additionally, Al Joker discussed the growth of Al Maktoum International Airport and the upcoming launch of a new terminal designed to meet future demands. The Dubai Airshow 2025 served as a platform for showcasing next-generation aviation innovations, including electric and vertical take-off aircraft, underscoring Dubai’s leadership in sustainable aviation solutions.
