The Digi Yatra Scheme (‘the Scheme’) was launched at the Delhi, Bengaluru, and Varanasi airports on December 01, 2022. During the second phase of implementation, the Scheme will be launched at Kolkata, Pune, Vijayawada, and Hyderabad airports. The Scheme allows digital processing of passengers using facial recognition to check the passengers’ identities at the entry checkpoint, entry into security check, self-bag drop, check-in, and aircraft boarding.
