New Digi Yatra App Makes Travel Easy at Ahmedabad Airport
Ahmedabad, August 28, 2023: Imagine going to the airport without worrying about tickets or IDs. Well, that’s becoming a reality at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) in Ahmedabad. They’ve started something called Digi Yatra, a special program that uses smart technology to make traveling simpler. In just the first week, more than 4,000 travelers tried it out, and many more are joining in.
What’s Digi Yatra? It’s a cool new way to travel. You won’t need paper tickets or even a passport. SVPIA has put in a special computer system that looks at your face and knows who you are. This helps with check-in, security, and boarding the plane – all without papers.
They began testing this idea on May 3, 2023, in one part of the airport. And guess what? It worked really well! People flying with Akasa and IndiGo airlines can already use Digi Yatra. By September, everyone can use it, no matter which airline you’re flying with.
How do you get started with Digi Yatra? You can sign up at the airport, on their special website, or by downloading an app on your phone. Once you’re signed up, you’ll get a special code just for you. This code is connected to your travel info and kept safely online.
What’s so great about Digi Yatra? Well, it lets you walk through the airport by just showing your face. No need to show tickets or anything. Even if you don’t have a special ID, your face will help you get through.
The Digi Yatra app is super useful too. You can get updates about your flight, like if it’s delayed. You can also order things on the plane using the app.
How does all of this work? Let’s break it down:
- First, you need to join Digi Yatra. You can do this at the airport, online, or by using an app.
- Once you’re in, you’ll get a code. This code is linked to your travel details.
- The airport uses this code to know who’s flying where. This helps them prepare for your journey.
When you’re at the airport:
- Walk through doors and gates by showing your face.
- Your face is like a magic key that works for tickets too.
- Even if you don’t have the special code, your face can help you check in.
And here’s the best part:
- You can get the Digi Yatra app on your phone from Google Play or the App Store.
So, what does all of this mean for you? Well, it makes traveling a lot simpler. You don’t need to carry lots of paper. The airport becomes an easier place to go through. And you can know if your flight is running late. Plus, you can even order things using the app.
SVPIA is really excited about making your trip easier. They’re following rules from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to keep things safe and smooth. With Digi Yatra, your journey can be a breeze!
