What is Digi Yatra?
Digi Yatra is a paperless travel initiative developed by Hyderabad-based startup Dataevolve Solutions, in coordination with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India. The app utilizes facial recognition technology to verify passenger identities at various checkpoints, such as check-in, security, and boarding gates, eliminating the need for physical document verification.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation explains that passengers can now proceed through many airport checkpoints without physically presenting their tickets, boarding passes, or identity cards. The Digi Yatra-ID integrates this information, streamlining the process and reducing wait times.
The MoCA highlights that Digi Yatra offers a seamless, contact-less, and hassle-free travel experience, aiming to reduce waiting times and expedite processing for all air travelers in India.
