India’s biometric travel platform Digi Yatra has crossed 10 crore passenger journeys, highlighting the growing adoption of digital services across the aviation sector. The Ministry of Civil Aviation said the platform is currently operational at 38 airports and has recorded over 2.4 crore app downloads. Average airport entry processing time has reduced from 15 seconds to just five seconds per passenger. The government plans to expand Digi Yatra to 27 additional airports by next year. For the travel trade, the expansion is expected to improve passenger convenience, ease congestion and support the continued growth of India’s aviation market.
