The platform also reduces wait times for air travellers and makes the boarding process faster and more seamless, according to the website. At present, the DigiYatra facility is available at Terminals 2 and 3 of the IGI Airport. Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO, Delhi International Airport Limited, stated, "We have been continuously striving to enhance the passenger experience at Delhi Airport. This latest initiative will enable even those who are less tech-savvy to fully utilize DigiYatra and travel seamlessly. DigiYatra offers a faster, safer, and smoother travel experience, aiming to allow passengers to spend more time with their loved ones at the airport."
