India’s airport digital revolution – ‘Digi Yatra’ has clocked over 9 million users and 42 million seamless journeys as per latest government figures. Since its launch in 2022, the Digi Yatra platform has expanded its reach to 24 airports nationwide as it plans to go international soon by tying up with IATA. The application also aims to go multilingual to serve India’s diverse population. 

Interestingly Digi Yatra app is downloaded by on an average of 30,000 users per day, reflecting its growing trust and acceptance among air passengers. 

Digi Yatra was launched in December 2024 in just three airports – Delhi, Bengaluru and Varanasi. A significant development this year was its collaboration with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) via the 'IATA One-ID X Digi Yatra India' initiative, a strategic step towards enabling seamless international travel, which underscores the platform's ambition to enter international markets.

This year, the platform focussed on improving user experience and privacy. Recent app updates enhance the contactless biometric process, and the introduction of the d-KYC campaign emphasizes customer privacy without storing personal data. 

Speaking about the Digi Yatra plans for 2025, chief executive, Digi Yatra said: “In 2025, we plan to add more airports in early 2025 and plan to support all 22 official Indian languages by March 2025, aiming for greater inclusivity. 

In June 2025, Digi Yatra plans to launch its pilot project on global scale with e-passport holders.
