Abu Dhabi's Zayed Inte ational Airport is set to revolutionize air travel by 2025 with its Smart Travel Project, aiming to create a fully biometric jou ey for passengers.
The system will use facial and iris recognition to streamline check-ins, immigration, and boarding without the need for physical documents.
Already partially implemented with Etihad flights, the airport plans to expand this technology across all passenger touchpoints.
While the project promises faster transit, traditional verification methods will remain available for those uncomfortable with biometrics.
This initiative positions Abu Dhabi as a leader in a growing global trend towards paperless air travel, with similar efforts seen in airports across Asia and Europe. Standardization and inte ational cooperation are essential for the success and safety of this technology.
