DUBAI: Dubai International Airport has introduced the Smart Red Carpet Corridor for passengers, allowing immigration formalities to be completed in just a few seconds.

The advanced system eliminates the need to present a passport or boarding pass, and up to 10 passengers can pass through the corridor simultaneously. This facility is the world’s first AI-powered passenger corridor and is currently available at Terminal 3, Business Class Departure Hall.
