The groundbreaking technology, based on Amadeus’s AI-powered solution, is the first of its kind globally.

The move is part of the country’s “All Indonesia” program, which aims to streamline immigration procedures for international arrivals.

Two corridors are being installed at Jakarta airport, with a third planned for Surabaya. In the first phase, priority will be given to seniors and passengers with disabilities, who can pre-register via the All Indonesia app.

According to Rudy Daniello, a senior official at Amadeus, the combination of digital identity and biometrics at key airport service points has made a truly seamless and secure travel experience – with no paperwork, no queues and no physical barriers – a reality.

The process involves passengers sharing their passport details in advance, background checks being completed before they arrive at the airport, and final authentication taking place as they pass through the biometric corridor.

The seamless corridor technology is not entirely new to Indonesia.

It has previously been used to facilitate the entry of pilgrims, with an estimated 220,000 people traveling between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia each year. During that period, the corridors processed more than 30 border crossings per minute and served a total of 50,000 passengers.
