This exclusive event will focus on how facial recognition technology is transforming MENA airports into world-class hubs for secure, seamless, and personalized passenger experiences. As airports across the Middle East and North Africa undergo rapid digital transformation, biometric solutions are playing a critical role in enhancing efficiency, boosting security, and staying competitive in the global aviation market.
MENA airports are no longer just transit points — they are now leaders in airport innovation. Facial biometrics gives these airports a real edge, helping them connect airlines and passengers more seamlessly,” says Mohammed Bajarsh, VP of Products, RecFaces. “But this shift cannot happen in isolation. It requires strong collaboration across airports, airlines, system integrators, and technology providers to design solutions that are scalable, compliant, and passenger-friendly.
The discussion will dive into how facial recognition fits into MENA’s broader airport digitization strategies — including AI-powered surveillance, automated gates, mobile applications. These integrated solutions not only streamline passenger movement but also support sustainability and operational resilience — essential for handling the region’s projected 1.1 billion annual passengers by 2040.
