The government plans to expand the Digi Yatra initiative, a contactless and facial recognition-based passenger movement system, to 14 additional airports, including Chennai, Bhubaneshwar, and Coimbatore, by March 2024. Currently operational at 13 airports, Digi Yatra aims to simplify air travel processes, reduce processing times, and enhance passenger convenience. The expansion reflects the government's commitment to modernizing airport operations, and officials also outline the integration of e-passports for foreign citizens. Digi Yatra has shown positive results in reducing processing times and streamlining airport procedures since its implementation.
