Chennai International Airport has launched the DigiYatra facility, joining other major airports in India. DigiYatra uses facial recognition technology to provide a hassle-free experience for passengers, who can opt into the service by downloading an app and registering their details.
This new system allows passengers to quickly complete pre-boarding formalities through dedicated e-gates, significantly reducing wait times. Initially introduced in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Varanasi, the facility is now available in multiple airports across India. Chennai’s implementation faced delays but has now resolved earlier technical issues to ensure smooth operation.
