Digi Yatra to be rolled out to 14 more airports soon
By MYBRANDBOOK
Digi Yatra is expected to be introduced at 14 additional airports by the end of April, though the rollout timeline hasn't been specified. This was announced by Digi Yatra Foundation CEO Suresh Khadakbhavi.
The Digi Yatra allows contactless passenger movement at supported airports where users don't have to carry boarding passes to check-in and security checks. Civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia claimed that by the end of 2024, the facility will be available to a total 38 airports in India.
While the Digi Yatra facility will be rolled out at 14 airports in the first phase, another 11 airports will be added in the second phase in 2024.
The Digi Yatra facility uses Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) to identify and provide access to the passenger. It was introduced in December 2022 and currently has nearly 5 million users. It is currently available at 13 airports for domestic passengers.
The following airports are the airports that might soon get Digi Yatra -
· Bagdogra
· Bhubaneswar
· Chandigarh
· Chennai
· Coimbatore
· Dabolim
· Indore
· Mangalore
· Patna
· Raipur
· Ranchi
· Srinagar
· Trivandrum
· Vishakhapatnam
The foundation is also in talks to make the facility available for international travellers. Despite concerns about data privacy, Khadakbhavi assured that Digi Yatra does not store any passengers' data and the information resides only in the user's phone, under their control.
