Dubai to introduce the smart passenger system for airports

Dubai airports are all set to get a tad smarter, thanks to an impending ‘smart passenger’ service to be installed in all of its airports. With this system, passengers will be spared the trouble of moving through hours of immigration queues and other formalities. According to the Directorate General of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, this system has been primarily built to save extra effort, time and money. The new scheme will come into effect approximately after 18 months.

Presently, the smart gates used in the airports complete the entire process of checking in and out in simply 20 seconds. However, the smart system that’s currently in progress eliminates those 20 seconds as well. The entry and exit processing will become as quick as ever with this new smart passenger system. In case immigrants get stuck at the airport for whatsoever reason, specific officers will be deployed to solve the problem quickly.

The main functionality of this system allows the passengers to comfortably enter or exit the area, while all their information gets registered in the airport servers. The multi-cameras and scanning system installed in the airport will check the person’s finger and iris prints along with all the other details. The person can pass through the airport without the need to stop at any counter. With this system, the checking in and out procedure will become a breeze for the passengers.

It seems like Dubai is all set to go phenomenal with its services in the airport, while it’s already on the verge of making the largest airport in the world.

Anxiety over citizenship to foreigners spreads in Dubai

Is there something like love for the homeland? Do we really owe a part of our lives to the nations we live in? Such questions have now become a commonplace in the dream city of Dubai. The commotion started when Sultan Sooud al-Qassemi, one of the members of UAE's ruling parties, announced that the UAE citizenship ought to be given to foreigners residing in the UAE. This statement has sent shock waves throughout the country where many leaders believe that the foreigners may not be completely loyal to a country that’s not their birthplace. According to the aforesaid ruler, the foreigners are contributing immensely to the growth of the country by involving themselves in the development of education, tourism, technology healthcare and much more. Hence long term foreigners deserve to be given the citizenship of the country. However, there are many more arguing against this statement via twitter and other social networking websites.

The counter argument too makes sense considering the vastly differing lifestyles of both the cultures. While on one hand Arabic women sport darker hued burqas, on the other hand there are bikini-clad foreign women spending time in Dubai beaches. According to some people, the fact that the ruler wrote in English and not in the Arabic language itself goes complementary to his statement.

Moreover, the government shells out an enormous amount of money on tourism, healthcare and other services which are mostly enjoyed by the foreigners as they outnumber the Muslims staying in the country. Though the ruler’s statement has generated interest, the chance of it being executed in reality is still faint. One of the twitter users even went down to comment something like this, ‘don’t cozy up to foreigners at our country’s expense’ which clearly shows that some of the Emiratis have been infuriated by his comment.

All in all, how these thoughts will eventually turn out is something only time can say.
