To improve this further, DigiYatra, which is based on facial recognition technology for boarding, has now been launched at six additional airports. Simultaneously, amenities like affordable cafés, complimentary Wi-Fi, Kids Zones, and airport libraries are on the rise.

This offers a much-needed respite from the steep prices typically seen at airports for frequent flyers.
Complimentary Wi-Fi, Kids Zones, and Flybraries
Enhancing passenger comfort is also being prioritized.
- Free Wi-Fi is currently accessible at 39 airports.
- Kids Zones have been introduced at 7 airports.
- Flybraries are now operational at 21 airports, following the addition of 5 new locations.
The Flybrary is a simple yet effective idea. Grab a book, enjoy it at the airport, and return it. Travelers may also take it with them and return it later. Additionally, they can donate books for others to enjoy.
Though it’s a modest concept, it significantly enhances the airport waiting experience.
Implications for Travelers
Here is the essential takeaway.
If you’re traveling from any of the 30 airports featuring DigiYatra, downloading the app can greatly expedite your entry process. Frequent flyers will find this particularly advantageous.
Moreover, affordable cafés alongside upgraded facilities illustrate a shift towards more traveler-oriented airports.
Indian airports are gradually becoming more navigable, less stressful, and somewhat more affordable. This transformation truly enhances the experience for regular travelers.
