Emirates has achieved a new technological leadership as it became the first carrier outside the United States to receive approval from the US Border Protection Agency to use biometric measurements to board aircraft.
The announcement came on the eve of the Civil Aviation Security Conference, which will be held at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai tomorrow and will last until September 24th.
Emirates customers traveling from Dubai to any of the 12 US destinations will have the option to choose face recognition at departure gates, reducing the time it takes to validate identity checks to two seconds or less. Customers do not need to pre-register and are free to choose not to use the technology. Emirates does not store or store any biometric records of its customers.
During the peak season, in July and August, Emirates tested the technology at the gates of departures from Dubai to New York and Los Angeles. The results are very encouraging, with some flights up 100% by plane to planes without the need for a conventional method. Handmade.
Emirates expects that biometric technology will be used to board aircraft to all destinations in the United States after the installation of the devices on the gates by the end of this year.
Since June, Emirates has adopted a biometric ascent for passengers on its flights from Washington, DC to Dubai.
Emirates currently operates to 12 cities in the United States: New York, Newark, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, DC, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
In October 2018, Emirates launched the world’s first bio-route to offer customers a smooth flight at Dubai International Airport.
