Traveling by air in India is set to become even more efficient with the upcoming expansion of the Digi Yatra facility . This innovative service aims to streamline airport processes and significantly reduce wait times for passengers. Here’s a look at what Digi Yatra offers and how it will benefit travelers at the newly added airports.


# What is Digi Yatra ?
Launched in 2022 by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraj Scindia , Digi Yatra is a digital solution designed to simplify airport procedures. By leveraging face recognition technology, the app allows travelers to bypass traditional check-in and security processes. Passengers no longer need to present ID proof, vaccine certificates, or boarding passes; the app handles these requirements through facial recognition.

# Current Status and Expansion Plans
Initially introduced at Bangalore and Varanasi airports in December 2022, Digi Yatra is now available at 15 airports across India. The service is set to expand to 12 additional airports soon, as confirmed by Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu in a recent Lok Sabha session. This expansion is expected to enhance the travel experience for millions of passengers.


# Benefits for Travelers
The Digi Yatra app, available for download on both Android and iOS devices, offers a range of advantages:

  • Time Savings: Reduces the time spent in check-in and security lines.
  • Convenience: Eliminates the need for physical documents by using facial recognition for verification.
  • Widespread Accessibility: With over 43 lakh downloads, the app is gaining popularity among travelers, reflecting its growing impact on the aviation sector.

The expansion of Digi Yatra to more airports is a significant step towards modernizing air travel in India. As the service becomes more widely available, passengers can look forward to a more streamlined and efficient airport experience.
