From a pax point of view, the Egate in the UAE airports is a huge bonus to those of us that live here.
You swipe your gate card, the door opens and you put your finger on the pad...done in seconds and you don't spend bl00dy hours queuing up for the passport control officer...absolutely brilliant, it must have saved my wife and I literally days of queuing in the past 2 years.
HNY all.
