Dubai Customs ready to welcome homecoming vacation travellers

Dubai Customs has stepped up readiness to ensure the smooth movement of homecoming passengers during the post-summer vacation period.

The Passenger Operations Department of Dubai Customs has made preparations to facilitate procedures and speed up the flow of arrivals through the Dubai International Airport (DXB).

It increased the number of customs inspectors working on shifts at different airport checkpoints, taking the total to 840 inspectors. There are 77 inspection scanners deployed across DXB terminals, including 58 designed to screen large bags and 19 scanners to check hand baggage.

To deal with the growing influx of arrivals during this holiday season, the department maintains around-the-clock communication between the staff on duty, terminal managers and team leaders to address any issues or obstacles that may arise during the customs inspection and clearance process.

Ibrahim Ali Al Kamali, Director of the Passenger Operations Department, said, “Dubai Customs attaches great importance to developing smart and innovative services to facilitate procedures for passengers coming into the country. Dubai Customs’ cutting-edge systems and processes support DXB’s plans to retain its leading, prestigious position as the world’s busiest airport by international passenger traffic.”

The development of smart customs systems helps accelerate the flow of travellers coming into the country, said Al Kamali.
