JEDDAH: Abdullah Al-Ghamdi, president of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, or SDAIA, toured and observed the operations of digital devices and e-gates at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

Esam Al-Wagait, director of the National Information Center at the authority, joined the tour with several other officials, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The authority operates these systems and monitors them around the clock to serve visitors arriving to perform Umrah, facilitating their entry and departure procedures.

During the tour, Al-Ghamdi reviewed the digital systems, which incorporate advanced technologies designed to streamline passenger procedures and enhance operational efficiency.

The systems improve the travel experience for Umrah performers, keeping pace with national efforts to develop services provided to visitors to the Kingdom.

The visit is part of SDAIA’s efforts to ensure readiness at the Kingdom’s entry points, by using digital technologies, data, and artificial intelligence to enhance services at Saudi airports.
