Pune Airport Launches DigiYatra Biometric System at New Terminal, Expanding Digital Travel Infrastructure

Pune International Airport has implemented the DigiYatra biometric self-boarding system at its new terminal, marking a significant expansion of the airport’s digital infrastructure. The service was officially launched on February 8, 2025, by Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol.DigiYatra, which was initially launched across India in December 2022, enables passengers to complete their journey using facial recognition technology, from airport entry to aircraft boarding.

The implementation at Pune Airport’s new terminal expands upon existing operations at the facility’s old terminal. The system has gained widespread adoption across India, with the DigiYatra app exceeding 10 million downloads and facilitating over 45 million passenger journeys across 24 airports nationwide.

At the launch ceremony, Minister Mohol highlighted how DigiYatra allows travelers to complete all formalities “from the entry gate to boarding without hassle.”

The technology deployment follows India’s partnership with IDEMIA, selected in 2023 as a technology provider for the DigiYatra airport transformation project. The system aims to reduce waiting times while enhancing security and efficiency.

This implementation represents a key component of India’s aviation modernization strategy, coming nearly a year after the inauguration of Pune Airport’s new terminal. The expansion reflects a global trend as airports increasingly adopt digital identity verification solutions to improve passenger processing and security measures.
