Dubai Airports will use face scanner technology

The Dubai’s General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) has signed up an agreement with a British company named “ObjectTech” to put up biometric face scanner technology that will scan passenger faces to eliminate long queues at the passport control counters and go right away to baggage reclaim.

Dubai, which handled 83.6 million passengers last year and expecting the number of arriving passengers, will increase this year. Dubai Airports, the operator of the world’s busiest airport, will test this new facial recognition technology.
