]]> NEW DELHI. Digi Yatra has achieved a major milestone by enabling over 10 crore seamless journeys across Indian airports, prompting Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to congratulate the Digi Yatra team for driving paperless, contactless and hassle-free travel. The Minister said the achievement reflects growing passenger trust in digital aviation services and comes amid a sharp rise in air travel, with daily domestic passenger traffic increasing from below two lakh in 2014 to over five lakh on several occasions in recent years. He noted that annual passenger traffic is expected to reach 50 crore by 2030 and nearly 100 crore by 2040, supported by digital solutions such as Digi Yatra, self-baggage drop facilities, AI-powered digital twins and improved grievance redressal systems. Currently operational at 38 airports, Digi Yatra will be expanded to 27 more airports next year.

According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the platform has recorded over 2.4 crore downloads and reduced average airport entry processing time from 15 seconds to just 5 seconds per passenger. By eliminating manual document verification and reducing paper usage through digital boarding processes, Digi Yatra has emerged as one of the most successful digital innovations in global aviation while also contributing to environmental sustainability.
