Emirates showed its new solutions for passengers with special needs. What's already working at Dubai DXB Airport's Terminal 3: barrier-free biometric gates with cameras that automatically adjust the height and viewing angle to the person's height, allowing passengers in wheelchairs to pass through control without changing position. The self-check-in stations are upgraded with tactile elements, Braille, voice guidance, a headphone jack and height adjustment. In development: a prototype lounge suite accessible to Emirates lounges - first class only for now. The design is a closed box with handrails, an area for maneuvering the wheelchair and an electric chair that rotates, reclines and raises the seat to facilitate lifting. It is rare to find such advanced technologies for passengers with disabilities - in this context, a statement stands out for the better. It also has more standard services, including 850+ subtitled movies and 200 audio-description movies on the inflight entertainment system for passengers with hearing/visual impairments. By the way, starting from March 2027, the requirement to show some movies with subtitles and audio commentary will become mandatory for Russian airlines.
