Biometric E-gate Scanners Installed at Riyadh’s King Khalid Airport

Saudi Arabia’s first biometric e-gate scanners have been introduced at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, with self-service e-Passport gates installed at Terminals 3 and 4 to streamline the check-in process for travellers.

The implementation of e-gates is part of ongoing efforts to enhance travel procedures for citizens, residents, and visitors, while also improving the services provided by the directorate through the introduction of efficient smart and digital solutions.

Saudi Arabia seeks to increase the number of air travellers to 330 million annually by 2030. In order to achieve this, the kingdom is making efforts to expand their airport infrastructure by building new airports, expanding existing ones, boosting their operation efficiency and improving travellers’ experiences.
