Indian airports are advancing their digital transformation as Mangaluru International Airport and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport successfully implement the DigiYatra initiative by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. With these additions, all seven airports under Adani Airports Holdings Ltd (AAHL) now offer DigiYatra, enabling passengers to experience seamless and contactless travel.

This significant step aligns with AAHL’s commitment to enhance passenger experience through seamless and contactless travel.

“We have seen a substantial rise in the adoption of DigiYatra by passengers, with some of our airports showing a utilisation as high as 37 percent in one day. More passengers are opting for the convenience and speed of DigiYatra, thereby redefining their travel experience,” commented Jeet Adani, Director of AAHL, during the DigiYatra ceremony. 

The DigiYatra initiative aims to provide a paperless and hassle-free travel experience for passengers, leveraging facial recognition technology for seamless entry at airports. The facial recognition technology used by DigiYatra enables seamless passage at various checkpoints. DigiYatra eliminates the need for physical documents, making the travel process efficient and ecologically friendly. It provides an additional layer of security by verifying passenger identity through biometric data. DigiYatra also reduces wait times at various touchpoints, ensuring a smoother and quicker journey for passengers. Security and privacy are central to Digi Yatra's mission.
