Saudi Arabia Introduces Seventy E-Gates at Jeddah Airport to Speed Up Travel

Saudi Arabia has taken another major step in modernizing its aviation sector with the launch of seventy AI-powered e-gates at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) in Jeddah. The new system, inaugurated by Deputy Emir of the Mecca Region, Prince Saud bin Mishaal, is set to enhance travel efficiency, improve security, and reduce wait times for 175,000 passengers daily.

The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has implemented the e-gate system across Terminal 1 and Executive Office facilities, enabling a seamless, paperless check-in and departure process.

With Jeddah now leading the way in AI-powered airport innovations, Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as a global leader in smart aviation technology, ensuring faster, safer, and more efficient travel for millions of passengers each year.
