DigiYatra, India's facial recognition-based airport travel platform, is set to expand its services to an additional 27 airports by next year, according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Currently operational at 38 airports, the platform has successfully facilitated over 10 crore journeys and has been downloaded more than 2.4 crore times. The initiative aims to enhance passenger experience by replacing manual document verification with facial recognition technology, which has reduced average airport entry processing times from 15 seconds to just 5 seconds per passenger. Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu highlighted that the annual passenger traffic at Indian airports is projected to reach 50 crore by 2030 and potentially double to 100 crore by 2040. The DigiYatra app currently supports 11 languages, with plans to add support for another 11 regional languages by the end of this year. Additionally, the ministry assured that passenger data shared through DigiYatra is encrypted and securely stored on the user's device, with limited sharing for immediate verification purposes.
