On Monday, Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) launched a beta version of its “DigiYatra” app for smartphones to facilitate seamless check-ins at Delhi Airport’s Terminal 3.
DigiYatra’s apps allow travelers to experience seamless biometric travel through facial recognition technology. According to DIAL, it aims to make travel paperless and seamless for passengers.

The same app will be available in a few weeks on Apple’s App Store for iOS.
To experience seamless travel from Terminal 3, domestic passengers can download the app and register before they arrive.
What is DigiYatra App?
DigiYatra is a Biometric Enabled Seamless Travel Experience (BEST) based on Facial Recognition Technology. In addition to providing a seamless and paperless travel experience, it is designed to be easy and convenient for passengers.
This technology would enable automatic passenger entry at all checkpoints, including airport entry, security check areas, and aircraft boarding.
With this technology, boarding will be much faster and more seamless, as passengers will need less than 3 seconds at each touchpoint. Identification, vaccination proof, and boarding passes would be issued based on their faces.
Besides improving airport security, the Airlines Departure Control System validates passenger data so only designated passengers can enter the terminal. Staff optimization is achieved through non-intrusive, automatic processes for stakeholders, including CISF, airlines, and others.
Taking the vision of a digitised India ahead, we’re happy to announce the launch of beta version of #DigiYatra app at #DelhiAirport.
Come experience the future of Air Travel where your face would become your new boarding pass.#DELAirport #EnjoyTravel pic.twitter.com/pS6dMmOdlS— Delhi Airport (@DelhiAirport) August 15, 2022
Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO of Delhi Airport, Said;
“DigiYatra is a unique initiative of the Government of India, coordinated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision to transform the nation into a digitally empowered society. Delhi Airport is among the first few airports in the country which are ready with the facial recognition system. The system is going to give a seamless experience to passengers.”
“The FRS will save passengers from the process of identity checks at multiple points and encourage them to travel paperless and also enhance safety at the airport.”
Full-Body Scanner At Delhi Airport Terminal 2
A full-body scanner has been trialed at Terminal 2 at Delhi Airport, as required by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). An advanced full-body scanner can detect objects without having to touch or intrude upon their privacy. Full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects that might be hard to detect with DMFDs.
