Biometrics enhance travel experiences at Abu Dhabi airport

Over one million passengers have successfully been processed through a new terminal at Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi, UAE thanks to innovative biometric technology from IDEMIA.

“Enhancing airport experiences”

The border management solution is said to feature the world’s first multi-biometric entry/exit system.

Strengthening security whilst also enhancing passenger experiences and throughput, the success of the Abu Dhabi project has led to an extension to the country’s four other international airports.

Elena Sorlini, MD and CEO, Zayed International Airport said: “The initial rollout of cutting-edge biometrics at Zayed International Airport underscores our dedication to enhancing airport experiences through innovation and technology, ensuring efficiency, convenience and superior service.
