Digi Yatra International Passenger Trials Begin at Seven Indian Airports
Trials for the Digi Yatra digital verification system for international passengers have begun at seven Indian airports, including Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai. The initiative allows eligible Indian nationals with e-passports to use facial recognition technology at select checkpoints on Air India and IndiGo international flights. Running through December, the trials aim to reduce congestion and improve passenger movement, with full implementation planned for 2027. Participants create verifiable credentials via a mobile app, complementing existing immigration procedures.
