Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi International Airport has become the first in the region to successfully introduce an automated Traveller Document Authentication System (TDAS) using the latest innovations on offer to deliver a smooth passenger experience to all travellers.

The new technology, developed by SITA, a company specialised in air transport communications and IT solutions, is now in place in Terminals 1 and 3. Using SITA’s Airport iValidate technology, the system automatically verifies mobile, home-printed, and original boarding passes, before passport control, helping to improve security and reduce waiting times for passengers. The new system has been introduced in four security lanes, and comprises automatic gates activated by both hand-held and static boarding pass scanners. Passengers will now spend less time queuing, giving them greater opportunities to enjoy the retail, food and beverage and entertainment facilities on offer.
