Deputy Governor of Makkah Region, Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, inaugurated on Tuesday the new e-gates system at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

The system includes 70 e-gates designed to enhance travel efficiency by automating check-in and departure procedures, providing a smoother and more convenient airport experience.
According to SPA, the initiative leverages modern technologies and artificial intelligence to facilitate faster and more secure passenger processing.

The e-gates are distributed across Terminal No. 1 and the Executive Office facilities, each capable of handling up to 2,500 passengers. This system significantly boosts the airport’s capacity, enabling it to serve up to 175,000 travelers per day.
King Abdulaziz International Airport is the third in Saudi Arabia to implement the e-gate system, following its successful deployment at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Neom Bay Airport.

The expansion of this advanced system aligns with the Kingdom’s commitment to enhancing airport efficiency, passenger convenience, and technological innovation in line with Vision 2030.

China said on Sunday it will improve tax refund policies for foreign tourists to boost inbound consumption, part of efforts to boost the economy as domestic demand remains tepid.

China will promote the expansion of tax refund stores in shopping areas, scenic spots, airports and hotels, according to a statement released jointly by the commerce ministry and other departments.

The minimum refund point for one overseas traveler in the same tax-refund shop on the same day will be lowered to 200 yuan ($27.45) from 500 yuan before, the statement said.
