Digi Yatra to add 17 airports as adoption rises to 30%

TRAVELLING THROUGH INDIAN airports is set to get faster and less stressful for a large chunk of Indian flyers as Digi Yatra gears up to add its biometric-based travel system across 17 additional airports during the current financial year.

The expansion will take the platform beyond the 24 airports where it is already live, extending queue-free entry and paperless travel to more cities across the country.

For passengers, the biggest benefit is simple: less time spent standing in lines as Digi Yatra allows travellers to use facial recognition instead of physical ID checks at airport entry gates, thus reducing verification time significantly.
