Tired of long airport lines? Digi Yatra makes travel faster and smoother for millions of passengers across India. The platform has already helped over 10 crore passengers move through 38 airports smoothly. You register once, use your digital identity, and walk through airport gates using facial recognition.
Benefits for Travelers
Airport entry used to take around 15 seconds per passenger. Now, it takes just 5 seconds. That may not sound like much. But at busy airports, it saves time. Staff manage crowds better. Passengers feel less rushed. It’s especially helpful if you’re catching domestic or international flights, where every minute counts.
27 More Airports Will Get Digi Yatra
The service is provided at Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), Bengaluru (BLR), Hyderabad (HYD), Kolkata (CCU), Chennai (MAA), Ahmedabad (AMD), Pune (PNQ), Lucknow (LKO), Goa (GOI/GOX), Guwahati, Jaipur, Kochi, Nagpur, Navi Mumbai, Thiruvananthapuram, Mangaluru, Surat, Vijayapura, Varanasi, Visakhapatnam, and Bhubaneswar.
By next year, 27 more airports will join. Greenfield airports like Navi Mumbai, Jewar, and Bhogapuram will also be fully enabled. Soon, travelers across India will enjoy faster, contactless entry.
Supporting India’s Growing Air Passenger Traffic
India’s air travel is booming. Daily domestic passengers have crossed 5 lakh several times recently. By 2030, airport traffic may reach 50 crore. By 2040, it could hit nearly 100 crore. Airports need smarter ways to manage this growth. More counters alone won’t solve congestion. Systems like this help passengers move quickly and keep terminals less crowded.
More Regional Languages Adding
Digi Yatra currently supports 11 languages. By 2027, it will add 11 more. Not everyone is comfortable with English or Hindi. Adding regional languages makes the app easier for first-time flyers, older travelers, and passengers from smaller towns. Simple language keeps travel less confusing.
Mandatory for International Travelers
If flying internationally from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Hyderabad you must now use this service. Upload an Aadhaar-verified selfie and your boarding pass to the app before your flight. At the airport, this system uses facial recognition at dedicated e-gates and lets you pass through entry, security, and boarding without repeated checks.
Airlines like IndiGo, Air India, Vistara, Emirates, and Lufthansa support it. This will likely expand to 27 more airports next year.
Paperless Travel Made Easy
This system also reduces paper usage at airports. You don’t need to carry boarding passes at every checkpoint. This means less to show and fewer repeated checks. The app Foundation keeps everything secure and fast. Biometric authentication ensures airport travel is smooth and safe.
What Travelers Should Know
It doesn’t replace airport rules. You still need valid tickets, ID, and other documents. Check if your airport supports this app before flying. It’s especially helpful during peak hours, holidays, or early morning departures. A little planning can save a lot of time and make your airport experience far less stressful.
Digi Yatra reaching 10 crore journeys is a big milestone. With 27 more airports and additional languages coming by 2027, it’s set to transform airport travel in India.
For travelers, it means faster, smoother, and smarter trips. Book your next international flight with Indian Eagle and enjoy smoother airport entry.
