Check-in at Delhi Airport turns paperless and contactless with DigiYatra

<p>
<strong>Aiming to make boarding a flight comfortable and hassle-free, the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has launched a beta version of DigiYatra app. This app which is on the Android platform enables flyers to avail quicker check-in at the Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.</strong></p>
<p>
The DigiYatra allows the passenger to go through different checkpoints at the airport by using a process which is contactless as well as paperless. The person’s facial features are used to establish the identity which is linked to the boarding pass.</p>
<p>
In their Press statement, DIAL said: “DIAL had installed the required facility at Terminal 3 of Delhi Airport and already conducted its DigiYatra trials. Nearly 20,000 passengers had the seamless and secured travel experience after using the facility during the trials.”</p>

<p>
The 20,000 passengers who availed of this facility had submitted their biometric and other details through kiosks at Terminal 3 for their specific flights.</p>
<p>
This app now will allow passengers to submit their biometrics and other details and it will remain permanently stored for all flights which they will take at the Terminal 3 airport. This means that a passenger is not required to submit the biometric details at Terminal 3 before each flight.</p>
<p>
At present DigiYatra app’s beta version is available on the Andriod platform and in a few weeks, it will be available on the IOS platform.</p>
<p>
The passenger after downloading the app will have to register his or her phone number and Aadhar card details. Then, they will have to take a selfie, add vaccination details and scan the boarding pass.</p>
