“The clearance time and subsequent wait times at the airport have dropped by about 10 per cent during the first quarter with the implementation of Emirates ID facility at e-gates and a new passenger tracking system, Dubai Airports said yesterday.
"Around 84 per cent of transfer passengers were processed within five minutes, 68 per cent of arrival passengers were processed within 15 minutes and 87 per cent of departing passengers were processed within 10 minutes," it said in a statement.
The airport, which had a capacity of 90 million in 2016, recorded 83.6 million passengers last year and expects 89 million passengers this year.
Smart gates and the use of Emirates ID cards at the automated immigration gates helped push down the transaction times to an average of 10 to 15 seconds per passenger.”
