 "IGI Airport introduces DigiYatra facility at T-3 without downloading app")
Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) on Thursday announced that a new facility DigiYatra has been introduced to make travel easier.
DigiYatra allows passengers to enjoy the benefits without having to download the mobile application, reported LiveMint. The initiative has been launched at Terminal 3 and it simplifies the registration process for the passengers into three steps.
Citing a statement from IGI Airport, the report said that passengers can use this facility by scanning the boarding pass and face along with presenting identification proof to the security staff deployed near the registration desk. Once registered successfully, passengers will be able to experience seamless travel within the terminal, which includes the security check area and the boarding gates.
DigiYatra was launched last year on December 1. According to newdelhiairport's website, DigiYatra is an initiative that uses facial recognition technology to make terminal entry & security clearance at the airport a seamless, hassle-free, and paperless process. The platform uses facial recognition technology to verify the identity of flyers. It is a decentralised mobile-based ID storage platform where air passengers can save their IDs and travel documents.
DigiYatra was introduced by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MOCA) and Digi Yatra Foundation. The platform also provides air travellers with the benefit of reduced wait time and makes the boarding process faster and more seamless, the website added.
Currently, the facility is available at Terminals 2 and 3 of the IGI Airport, the report added.
