Union Minister for Civil Aviation Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Speaking about the Digi Yatra project conceived by the Digi Yatra Foundation under the Union Minister for Civil Aviation Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia<\/a>, the Minister stated that the project envisages a traveler today pass through various checkpoints at the airports through paperless and contactless processing operating facial features to launch her identity which could be linked to the boarding pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To operate this facility, one-time registration on the Digi Yatra app is needed using Aadhar-based validation and a self-image capture. The project has tremendous advantages of improving passenger convenience and ease of journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About the privacy features of the project, the Aviation Minister stated that keeping in mind privacy, there is no main storage of Personally Identifiable Information (PII).\u00a0 The passenger\u2019s ID and travel credentials are stored in a secure wallet on the passenger\u2019s smartphone itself. The uploaded data will utilize blockchain technology and all the data will be purged from the servers within 24 hours of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Digi Yatra, India will now stand in the ranks of world-class airports like Heathrow in London and Atlanta in the United States of America. Elucidating on the benefits of Digi Yatra, the Minister said the example of Dubai Airport where passenger time of up to 40 percent was saved due to this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, read <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A similar technology saved 9 minutes per aircraft time at the Atlanta Airport. The Minister also stated that compared to other ports of call, the Indian system has been made far more seamless from entry to exit and therefore will be 1 of the most efficient systems in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it has been initially launched at three airports i.e., Delhi, Bengaluru, and Varanasi today, to be followed by four airports namely Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, and Vijayawada<\/strong> by March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Later it would be implemented across various airports in the country. The service is presently being announced for domestic flight passengers only. Digi Yatra App is available on both IoS and Android. It is voluntary in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Digi Yatra, India is setting a new global benchmark for a seamless, hassle-free, and health-risk-free process at airports.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/scindia_pti.jpg\")
