AI Border Control Without Queues Tested at Dubai Airport

August 28, 2025

At Dubai Airport, AI-based border control is being tested without the need for queues or document presentation. The system scans the faces of passengers who have submitted their biometrics, allowing up to ten people to pass simultaneously without needing to show a passport or boarding pass. In case of suspicion, border agents are notified. Currently, the technology is only operational for first and business class passengers in one terminal. When it will be available for everyone is unknown.
