Oman Airports Management Company opened the electronic gate system at Muscat International Airport
Oman Airports Management Company opened the new electronic gate system at Muscat International Airport, with the aim of accelerating the verification of #travel documents for departing and arriving passengers. This project comes within the plans of "Oman Airports" to accelerate travel operations and procedures, within the framework of the electronic transformation that "Oman Airports" is working to implement within the goals of Oman Vision 2040 رؤية عُمان 2040.
Sheikh Aimen Alhosni, #CEO of Oman Airports Management Company, explained that this #innovative system is one of the quick solutions to complete travel procedures without human intervention. He added that the aim of the project is to provide a fast and safe self-service for the traveler to cross the borders and record travel #data, with the least possible intervention from security personnel, so that the process ensures smooth and speedy movement of passengers and reduces the time taken to complete the process. According to the Oman Airports website.
Alhosni stressed that the new electronic gates will speed up the process of verifying travel documents and comparing them with the #biometric fingerprints of arriving and departing passengers, by taking the traveler's facial print and matching it with the biometric fingerprint registered in the Royal Oman Police system, in an automated and self-service manner, taking into account all the possibilities that must be verified so that all security factors related to the traveler are verified in databases and other security systems.
He pointed out that the gates in the new form are between the departure hall and the arrivals hall, so that there are 6 gates at the departure side for #economy class passengers and 12 gates at the arrivals, distributed 6 of them in the northern side and 6 in the southern side.
Alhosni added that the gate's capacity depends on operational factors, such as the speed of the passenger's response to the displayed instructions, through the way the passenger stands inside the gate and faces the camera to record the face print, etc. He continued that in general, the six gates in the departure hall can handle more than 1,000 passengers per hour, while in the arrivals hall, the current 12 gates can handle more than 24,000 passengers per day.
