The Saudi Ministry of Interior launched on Tuesday the Smart Gates Project today at NEOM Bay Airport.
The project is a collaboration between the General Directorate of Passports, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), and NEOM and aims to improve the efficiency of passenger procedures by allowing passengers to scan their biometric data at self-service kiosks.
The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to enhance quality of life by implementing high-efficiency digital solutions in Saudi cities.
Present at the event were Assistant Minister of Interior for Technology Affairs Prince Dr. Bandar bin Abdullah bin Mishari, SDAIA President Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi, Director General of Passports Lieutenant General Sulaiman bin Abdulaziz Al-Yahya, SDAIA National Information Center Director Dr. Esam bin Abdullah Al-Wagait, and NEOM CEO Eng.
