Digi Yatra, an initiative of AAI, has been rolled out in collaboration with an IT solution provider. It digitizes air travel and reduces the time spent by air passengers in queues.
Digi Yatra has been rolled out in
several cities in India, including Varanasi, Vijayawada, Kolkata, and Bangalore.
IT solution providers have played a big role in the digitization of air travel.
One such IT solution provider is NEC India which has provided biometric technology, a major
requisite for the digitization of air travel.
Earlier, passengers had to face a lot of hassles while taking a flight. Because they were required to show their boarding pass and prove their identity many times, a lot of their time got consumed. They were hardly able to enjoy the great shopping experience that airports offer.
Right from check-in to boarding,
the Digi Yatra has made taking a flight seem like
a dream for the passengers. All they have to do is register themselves using a
mobile application and give Aadhaar details. The airport will update the
passenger’s details on its digital ID database.
Check-ins don’t require a person
to queue up at the airline counter. Bag Drop will not require a person to
identify themselves as a digital authentication will be done.
The passenger will not be asked
to show their Aadhaar Card or Boarding Pass during security screening. Above
all, airports have dedicated gates for the passengers who have registered for
the Digi Yatra scheme. The AI-powered face recognition technology deployed by
the IT solution provider will identify a passenger swiftly and usher them in.
Touchless boarding is one of the
most passenger-friendly services that can be availed of. This reduces the time
they have to spend at the boarding gate. The ground duty staff of the airline
also don’t have to make an extra effort to check the boarding pass of the
passengers.
Airports
are becoming a more safe and secure place owing to biometric technology. This
is because the face recognition technology of the IT solution provider can be
combined with video analytics to ensure that the no-show and sick passengers
are handled properly.
