00:00Hi, my name is Fatma Salim-Ezroui, I'm the Head of Smart Project Support Cross-Section
00:29from General Directorate of Presidency of Foreign Affairs.
00:33This year at GITEX, we're presenting a passenger journey experience that has an evolution in
00:39technology.
00:40So basically, instead of having different procedures being checked at the different
00:45touch points in the airport, we're combining it all at the first location and making the
00:50journey much more faster and smooth for the passenger at the airport.
00:54So I can show you the journey experience and we can go along with it.
00:59This is the biometric check-in counter.
01:01The passenger would have to come here and register himself and get fully cleared from
01:05both procedure sites, Emirates Airlines and GDRFA, and all of his biometric data will
01:09be captured.
01:10After he is cleared here, he goes to the different touch points.
01:14The second touch point which is related to GDRFA is the smart gate.
01:18So the passenger would go here, he would just be identified and verified by his biometric
01:23data.
01:24So he enters the smart gate, he doesn't have to present any documents at all, he just looks
01:29at the camera and the camera would have to identify him and clear him.
01:40And like that, the passenger is cleared and he can exit the smart gates.
01:58The advanced thing about this journey is that the passenger process would be much more
02:02faster, it would be much more simpler, and it would be document-less.
02:06So if he needs to present any documents, it would be at the first touch point, but for
02:10him to use our smart gates or any other touch points at the airport related to this passenger
02:15journey, he would be verified with his biometric data.
02:18So he doesn't have to use the passport or Emirates ID or even the boarding pass to verify
02:22himself with the machine itself.
02:25So he would be much more happier and pleased when he flies at the airport.
