Dubai Customs has raised its operational readiness for the peak summer travel season, with around three million passengers expected to pass through Dubai’s airports during the first half of July.
The preparations are being carried out through an integrated operational plan designed to ensure smooth passenger flow and deliver a fast, safe travel experience that reflects Dubai’s global standing.
These preparations followed a series of coordination meetings between Dubai Customs and its strategic partners at Dubai Airports to review operational plans, enhance readiness and ensure the smooth flow of passengers during the peak season. They are designed to keep pace with the continued growth in visitor numbers while maintaining service quality in line with the highest international standards.
Baggage screening systems
Dubai Customs operates 19 advanced baggage-screening systems and 77 detection and inspection systems across the various halls and terminals at Dubai’s airports. These systems enhance handling capacity, speed up inspection procedures and maintain the highest standards of security and safety, ensuring sustained operational efficiency even during peak periods.
Khalid Ahmed, Director of the Passenger Operations Department at Dubai Customs, confirmed that preparations for the summer travel season began early, with integrated operational plans developed in coordination with strategic partners.
Ahmed added that Dubai Customs continues to invest in developing its operational infrastructure, deploying the latest smart technologies and strengthening the capabilities of its field teams. This enables Dubai Customs to keep pace with the rapid growth in passenger traffic and provide proactive services that enhance the passenger experience, while maintaining the highest levels of customs security.
