The Aviation Ministry coordinates “DigiYatra,” an industry-led effort to realize Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India vision.
We are excited to work with GMR Group on DigiYatra, another government digitalization program. “As a market leader for passenger flow facilitation solutions, we constantly innovate to safeguard passenger trust and help pave the way for even smoother and more secure future travel,” stated Matthew Foxton, India Regional President, IDEMIA India.
DigiYatra will use IDEMIA’s facial recognition to verify domestic flyers.
