According to airport authorities, August 29 marked the peak of the holiday rush, with 701 flights scheduled to handle nearly 116,000 passengers. Peak morning travel windows saw passenger volumes exceeding 2,000 travelers per hour.

Despite the heavy traffic, check-in counters, security checkpoints, and boarding gates experienced no major congestion. A notable factor in the smooth operations this year was the widespread adoption of biometric self-service check-in at 12 dedicated kiosks located across Halls A, B, and E.

Powered by facial recognition technology, the system significantly reduces processing time compared to traditional manual methods, drastically reducing waiting times for passengers.
