Dubai: The police's airports security department has completed its preparations to ensure a comfortable trip through Dubai International Airport this summer.
Col Abdul Rahman Bin Hafez, director of the guards department at the airports security department, said they expect an increase in the number of travellers compared to previous years, partly because of more airlines operating at the airport.
He said the number of airport personnel and shifts have been increased.
Col Bin Hafez said the department held a number of meetings with Dubai Airports, which resulted in providing some employees to help passengers complete procedures and to inform them of items that are not allowed on planes.
He said the travel procedures involve the checking of the identities of passengers, after which they proceed to the immigration office and then to the final inspection point.
Some passengers are inspected twice based on requests by airline companies. Col Bin Hafez said Dubai Police has paid special attention to travelling children, the elderly and people with special needs.
"If we receive complaints about mistreatment there is a committee to look into it and take suitable action."
