AAI working on India’s first facial recognition-based passenger boarding system: Government
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) was working on the country’s first facial recognition technology-based biometric boarding system for passengers at Varanasi, Pune, Kolkata and Vijayawada airports, Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said on Thursday. “This biometric boarding system is part of the first phase of Digi Yatra scheme’s implementation,” he said in a written response to a question in Lok Sabha.
The Digi Yatra initiative seeks to promote paperless and hassle-free air travel. It is a biometrics-based digital processing system for passenger entry and related requirements at the airport, according to the government.
