Mobile phones, Aadhaar might soon be gateway for air travel

NEW DELHI: You might soon be using just your mobile phone and Aadhaar for air travel minus all that paper work, with the Government looking to roll out a digital system for airport entry and subsequent journey requirements.

Under the proposed ‘digi yatra’ initiative, the civil aviation ministry is looking to make “boarding pass and security interactions” digital.

Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha today said the ministry is working on the initiative to ensure the whole air travel experience is completely digital.

“Your payment is digital, your boarding and security interactions are digital… That is the digi yatra concept we are working on,” he noted. (AGENCIES)
