Digi Yatra| Government of India initiative Towards Digitization of Airport in India

Digi Yatra, an government initiative to make passenger movement smoother and faster from entry points till they sit inside the aircraft by the digitization of passenger movement using the DIGI YATRA App.

It will be implemented in checkpoints such as Entry, Security areas, and Aircraft boarding gates.

When Passenger reached the terminal building and at the entry point, he/she needs to show a Boarding pass or E-ticket (either physical or on-mobile). After that using the Bar Code scanner will scan the barcode on the Boarding pass or E-ticket to retrieve the details such as date of travel, flight number, passenger name, and departing and arrival airport name.
