A DigiYatra facility was inaugurated at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (NSCBI) Airport on Thursday, marking a significant stride in contactless travel.
The service is specifically designed to streamline the experience for domestic transfer passengers.
The facility was inaugurated by passengers in the presence of PR Beuria, Airport Director, Airports Authority of India (AAI), along with other senior AAI officials.
The DigiYatra facility was first officially launched for general domestic passengers at the Kolkata airport on March 31, 2023.
Kolkata was part of the second phase of DigiYatra implementation in India, following the initial launch at Delhi, Bengaluru, and Varanasi airports in December 2022.
“The latest addition leverages facial recognition technology to facilitate faster passenger movement, significantly reducing processing times and enhancing security,” said an official.
