The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is working on a project for a facial recognition technology-based biometric boarding system as part of the first phase of the implementation of Digi Yatra at four airports – Varanasi, Pune, Kolkata and Vijayawada. The Digi Yatra initiative seeks to promote paperless and hassle-free air travel. It is a biometrics-based digital processing system for passenger entry and related requirements at the airport. The authority has engaged NEC Corporation Private Limited to implement this technology. The Digi Yatra central ecosystem is expected to go live in March 2022. This initiative will be further scaled up in a phased manner for adoption across various airports.
