Emirates has invested AED 85 million (around $23 million) to install more than 200 biometrics-enabled cameras across Terminal 3 of the Dubai International Airport (DXB).
This will allow customers to pass through Check-In, Immigration, Boarding Gates, Lounges and board the aircraft, hassle-free.
Hassle-free experience at DXB
With the installation of these biometric-enabled cameras, the need to take out a passport at the boarding gate will be eliminated.
