DigiYatra expands: face-first boarding now at most major Indian airports

India's biometric boarding programme keeps growing, cutting queue times at security and gates.

8/23/2026
DigiYatra, India's facial-recognition based paperless boarding system, now covers the vast majority of high-traffic airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Kochi. Enrolled passengers move through dedicated e-gates at terminal entry, security and boarding without showing a boarding pass or ID. The app links Aadhaar-verified identity with your ticket for the day of travel only. Tip: enrol at home in the app rather than at the airport kiosk — it saves 10-15 minutes on your first use.
