Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram international airports become the latest addition to the list of airports operated by Adani Airports Holding Limited to offer DigiYatra access to the airports. Seven airports operated by AAHL managed over 6.8 million DigiYatra transactions since its rollout in August 2023.

AAHL has announced the onboarding of Mangaluru International Airport and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport into the DigiYatra initiative of the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA). With this, all seven operational airports of AAHL now offer passengers access to use DigiYatra to access the airports.

Jeet Adani, director of AAHL, said, "Since its launch on August 15, 2023, DigiYatra took flight at five of our airports including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Guwahati. Offering the DigiYatra experience to our passengers in Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram Airports underscores AAHL’s dedication to the adoption of innovative technologies that enhance passenger convenience and security. We have seen a substantial rise in the adoption of DigiYatra by passengers, with some of our airports showing a utilisation as high as 37% in one day. More passengers are opting for the convenience and speed of DigiYatra, thereby redefining their travel experience.”

The DigiYatra initiative aims to provide a paperless and hassle-free travel experience for passengers, leveraging facial recognition technology for seamless entry at airports. The facial recognition technology used by DigiYatra enables seamless passage at various checkpoints.

DigiYatra eliminates the need for physical documents, making the travel process efficient and ecologically friendly. It provides an additional layer of security by verifying passenger identity through biometric data. DigiYatra also reduces wait times at various touchpoints, ensuring a smoother and quicker journey for passengers. Security and privacy are central to Digi Yatra's mission.
