SITA – an exhibitor at FTE Global, the “CES of Aviation” taking place in Los Angeles on 28-30 October 2024 – is installing its Smart Path technology across nine Indian airports in a partnership with Airports Authority of India (AAI). Part of the wider DigiYatra initiative, the collaboration marks a milestone in Indian aviation. It introduces SITA’s contactless boarding pass system to reduce waiting times and create a seamless travel experience.
AAI will use SITA’s products and solutions, including SITA Smart Path, Passenger Flow Management solution, and Face Pods. These technologies offer biometric solutions at most touchpoints across the airport, meaning a contact-free travel experience across nine Indian airports, putting passengers in control of their journey, cutting down on wait times throughout the airports.
The partnership is a key element of AAI’s strategy to digitalise Indian airports as part of DigiYatra, an initiative created by the Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation to revolutionise air travel in India by providing passengers with a paperless airport experience using advanced facial recognition technology.
“With a focus on delivering digital travel, improving airport efficiency, and future-proofing operations with smart, agile solutions, India has a unique opportunity to revolutionise its airports with truly world-class infrastructure,” said Sumesh Patel, President, APAC, SITA. “It is vital in this connected era that travel across the globe is as seamless as possible and we are ready to help India continue to innovate in their digitalisation efforts with SITA technology as the DigiYatra initiative spreads across India.”
