Chennai is set to join 14 airports across India where DigiYatra, an innovative system using facial recognition technology, will be implemented next month. The rollout was postponed due to pending approval from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). DigiYatra has seen significant growth and positive reception, benefiting over 20 million users in the past year. Currently operational in 14 airports, it is set to expand to an additional 14 in the upcoming month. The focus is now shifting towards international travel, with plans for prototype testing on e-passport-based enrollment pending discussions with relevant ministries and stakeholders. Around 50% of passengers in selected Indian airports are using DigiYatra, indicating a growing acceptance and usage of the digital travel facilitation system among air travelers in the country.
