During his evening tour to\u00a0Dubai International Airport<\/a>\u00a0on Wednesday, Director of\u00a0Dubai Customs<\/a>\u00a0Ahmed Mahboob Musabih<\/a>\u00a0urged employees to go above and beyond in order to provide passengers at the busiest airport in the world with the best\u00a0smart<\/a>\u00a0services, and take all procedures to ensure highest levels of security, especially in summer and Eid holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the 50-year charter, launched by His Highness\u00a0Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/a>, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and to contribute towards a vision that sees Dubai the happiest and smartest city on earth,\u00a0Dubai Customs<\/a>\u00a0offers passengers into Dubai airports the best and most advanced services\u201d Musabih said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThere are many smart services and applications that noticeably streamlined travel experience in the airport, including iDeclare. The application enables passengers to declare their belongings if needed in only 5 minutes, rather than 25 minutes, and the Smart Bag Inspection System which detects suspicious luggage effectively\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

As the world\u2019s busiest airport for international travelers for the fifth year in a row,\u00a0Dubai International Airport<\/a>\u00a0handled 89.1 million passengers in 2018.<\/p>\n

Musabih revealed that\u00a0Dubai Customs<\/a>\u00a0dealt with 3.9m passengers and 7.2m bags at terminal (1) during the first half of this year. This means checking an average of 40,000 bags daily and this wouldn\u2019t have been done without the sophisticated inspection devices in place, coupled with the highly trained staff, Musabih explained.<\/p>\n

Terminal (1) made 179 different seizures in the first half of 2019, including 4 marijuana seizures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
