Emirates has become the first airline outside the US to receive approval for bio-metric boarding from the US Customs Border Protection CBP.

Soon customers flying from Dubai to any of Emirates 12 destinations in the US will be able to choose facial recognition technology at the departure gates, reducing the time taken for identity checks to two seconds or less. No pre-registration is required, and customers may also choose not to use the technology. Emirates does not store any biometric records of its customers – all the data is managed securely by CBP.

The technology was piloted at the departure gates of Emirates flights from Dubai to New York and Los Angeles through the peak periods in July and August.

The results were encouraging with some flights achieving 100 per cent biometric boarding and zero manual checks.

The airline expects to make biometric boarding available for all its US destinations by year-end, once the equipment is in place.

How biometric boarding works:

At the boarding gate the system clicks the passenger’s photo, which is matched against CBP’s gallery in real-time to verify the person’s identity in two seconds or less.

The system may not work for those who haven’t travelled to the US for a long time or whose images are not in CBP’s gallery, in which case they can simply approach the gate desks.

Dr Abdulla Al Hashimi, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates Group Security said: “Safety and security will always remain our number one priority, as Emirates continues to explore and invest in innovative solutions for hassle-free travel that help our customers fly better. Our ultimate aim is to help our passengers travel paperless, without the need for passports and IDs.

John Wagner Deputy Executive Assistant Commission Office of Field Operations US Customs and Border Protection said: “CBP has been working with our stakeholders like Emirates to build a simplified, but secure travel process that aligns with CBP’s and the travel industry’s modernization efforts.

In June Emirates had implemented biometric boarding for passengers on its Washington-Dubai flights. The airline expects to roll out this technology across all its US destination airports. Source by Khaleej Time

Emirates currently flies to 12 US cities: New York, Newark, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Orlando and Fort Lauderdale.
