Duba:Passengers flying through the Al Maktoum International (DWC) airport will be able to clear

immigration in just seconds through a smart corridor.In the time it takes one person to get through the
Dubai Airport (DXB) immigration smart gates, 10 travellers will be able to pass through the
corridor.Speaking at The Airport Show in Dubai on Tuesday, Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al

Marri, Director General of the emirate’s General Directorate of Identity and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA),
noted how seamless travelling will be.“Our future will be one of seamless travel,” he said. “Previously,

the procedures involved passport checks and stamping… Now, all passports are programmed and
verified automatically using artificial intelligence (AI).”

Despite these advancements, he noted that DXB still values personal touches, with dedicated
counters for children and prioritised services for mothers and elderly passengers.“At Dubai Airports,

we prioritise mothers traveling with their children and elderly travelers,” he said. “We have not
forgotten about children, and we have dedicated a special counter for them, which is the first of its kind

in the world.”
