Emirates Is Working With Authorities To Make The Airport Transition A Whole Lot Easier For Residents
Emirates Airlines is working with Dubai authorities to speed up transitions in airports, thanks to a scheme called ‘Together’.
The airline is working with Dubai Customs, Dubai General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA), Dubai Police, and Dubai Airports, to create speedier experiences, and implement new systems and technologies.
Plans include enhancements to: simplifying passenger check-in processes and baggage drop-off and tracking, as well as ‘using advanced technology throughout the passenger journey within the terminal’, according to Emirates.
The scheme is to ensure, as Dubai’s passenger base expands, so does the services available
Meaning less time standing in queues, and spending time waiting.
It is based on the a six-S philosophy:
- Smart
- Speed
- Saving
- Service
- Safety
- Security
“Last year, over 57 million passengers flew on Emirates, to Dubai or through Dubai, and that number continues to grow. To us, the hub experience and sustaining our growth is very important.
“Making use of technology and bringing new initiatives to life is key to building our future and staying ahead of competition. By working together we have a great opportunity to fast-track these initiatives and overcome challenges to improve the Emirates customer journey at our Dubai hub.”
Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer
