Cochin airport completes trial of 'Digi Yathra'

Kochi, Feb 5 (UNI) Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) has successfully completed the trial of Digi Yathra phase I, on whose implementation the E-gate at the first level security points will be enabled.
Major Airports in the country are at various stages of implementing Digi Yatra, the initiative launched by the Ministry of Civil Aviation which will enable a biometric boarding system, seamless passenger movement.
This enhances the passenger experience by eliminating the need for verification of tickets and ID at multiple touchpoints and achieving better throughput through existing infrastructure using a digital framework including the use of facial recognition technology.
This system will facilitate the passengers’ entry to the terminal by showing their bar-coded boarding pass at the kiosks.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyothiraditya Scindia visited CIAL’s facilities on Saturday and expressed his satisfaction with the maintenance of the airport. Software for the E- boarding pass system has been developed in-house by the CIAL’s IT department.
Expressing his appreciation for the general upkeeping of the Kochi airport, its cleanliness and the adoption of technology Mr Scindia said," airports in the country should adopt digital interfaces at all passenger touchpoints to ensure a better experience for the passengers".
"All signage and information kiosks should be electronic and digitised. They should be interactive, multilingual and easily identifiable. Considering that, to provide passengers and customers with a better experience, systems and services must be upgraded," added Mr Scindia.
