AI Kiosk for Airports

Selam.AI deploys real-time multilingual AI kiosks in airport terminals for passenger assistance, wayfinding, and flight information. The system runs in 30+ languages, replies in under one second, and can run fully on-premises inside the airport's own network - so no passenger voice data ever leaves the perimeter.

Why airports pick AI kiosks over traditional self-service

Traditional airport touch-screen kiosks force passengers into menu trees in a single language. That breaks down the moment a transit passenger doesn't read Latin script, or the moment someone in a hurry just wants to ask "where's gate 34?". A conversational AI kiosk removes both problems: the passenger speaks naturally in their own language and gets an immediate spoken answer from a lifelike avatar. No menu navigation, no keyboard input, no queueing for a human agent.

Selam.AI was built for exactly this scenario. Our airport deployments handle everything from "what time is my flight" to "where do I catch the hotel shuttle" to "I lost my boarding pass, what do I do", in any of 30+ languages, with the same latency and quality as the native-language path.

Frequently asked questions

What does an airport AI kiosk actually do?

A Selam.AI airport kiosk answers spoken passenger questions in 30+ languages, flight status, gate directions, lost-and-found, transit options, duty-free locations, with a real-time lifelike avatar. No menu navigation; the passenger just speaks.

Which airports use Selam.AI today?

Selam.AI is deployed at Zayed International Airport (Abu Dhabi, UAE), İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport, and Medina Airport.

How many languages does the airport kiosk support?

30+ languages out of the box, including English, Arabic, Turkish, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian, and most major European and Middle Eastern languages. Additional locales can be added on request.

Can the kiosk integrate with airport flight-info systems?

Yes. Selam.AI exposes webhooks and an SDK for integration with existing flight-info displays, gate-management systems, and baggage-tracking APIs. Integration is typically configured during onboarding.

Is there a data-residency or GDPR concern with airport deployments?

No. Selam.AI supports full on-premises deployment where every AI model, LLM, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, runs inside the airport's own network. No passenger voice data leaves the perimeter. Air-gapped installations are also supported.

How fast is the response for a passenger in a hurry?

End-to-end response time (speech in → avatar reply out) is under one second under typical load. This is critical at airports where any delay reads as a broken machine and pushes passengers back to human information desks.

Does the kiosk work in noisy airport terminals?

Yes. Selam.AI includes AI noise cancellation specifically tuned for public venues, airport terminals, transit halls, and mall atriums, rather than generic call-center denoising.
