The application aims to add 11 more regional languages by the end of 2027 and enable 27 more airports by next year. Greenfield projects like Navi Mumbai, Jewar and Bhogapuram will all be fully Digi Yatra-enabled
The Digi Yatra app has enabled over 10 crore seamless journeys across 38 airports with over 2.4 crore downloads across iOS and Android. The platform has reduced average airport entry processing times from 15 seconds down to 5 seconds per passenger by replacing manual document verification. This rapid throughput has significantly optimised terminal infrastructure, reduced terminal congestion, and minimised manual processing overheads.
Furthermore, by eliminating physical boarding passes, the initiative supports environmental sustainability by saving thousands of sheets of paper daily across participating airports.
Minister for Civil Aviation, Ram Mohan Naidu stated, “Right now, Digi Yatra is active at 38 airports, and by next year, 27 more airports will be enabled. I am also pleased to share that the major greenfield airport projects operationalising this year; Navi Mumbai, Jewar and Bhogapuram will all be fully Digi Yatra-enabled.”
Reflecting on the milestone, Minister Naidu said,“The scale of Digi Yatra’s adoption comes at a critical juncture. Daily domestic passenger traffic, which averaged below 2 lakh passengers in 2014, has now crossed the 5-lakh mark on numerous occasions over the last three years. And supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to make air travel more accessible and convenient, annual passenger traffic across Indian airports is projected to reach 50 crores by 2030 and double to nearly 100 crores by 2040. And to effectively manage this exponential growth, we are adopting multiple digital solutions like Digi Yatra, Self-Baggage Drop Facility, Augmentation of Air Traffic Control Automation Systems, AirSewa portal for grievance redressal and AI-powered digital twins to optimise airport operations.”
Emphasising his vision for Ease of Flying, the Minister noted, “We are making the platform significantly more inclusive. Digi Yatra currently supports 11 languages, and by the end of this year, we plan to add 11 more regional languages. This directly advances the Prime Minister’s vision to democratise aviation and make air travel truly accessible to the common man.”
