Dubai Launches AI-Powered Passenger Corridor to Replace Immigration Counters
Dubai International Airport (DXB), already renowned as the world’s busiest hub for international travel, has taken a revolutionary leap in airport innovation with the launch of its AI-powered passenger corridor. Under the “Travel Without Borders” initiative, this new system allows passengers to clear immigration in just 14 seconds—without presenting any documents.
This marks a major milestone in the evolution of frictionless and secure travel, using artificial intelligence and biometrics to transform how people move through global airports.
The AI passenger corridor is a document-free travel path that enables travelers to pass through immigration simply by walking along a designated route. Using facial recognition and pre-registered biometric data, the system authenticates passengers without passports, boarding passes, or physical interaction with immigration officers.
Initially launched in Terminal 3’s First and Business Class lounges, the corridor builds on Dubai’s earlier “smart tunnel” system introduced in 2020 and represents the next phase of airport modernization.
Dubai’s Unlimited Smart Travel initiative aims to completely phase out traditional passport control in the coming years. According to Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, the Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, the corridor reflects Dubai’s commitment to a frictionless, intelligent, and secure travel experience.
