- Passengers flying Vistara from Kempegowda International Airport BLR can now travel paperless with Digi Yatra Seamless Flow technology by Vision-Box- Digi Yatra Seamless Flow establishes BLR Airport with a privacy-protected information network that ensures highest international standards of data security and respects passenger privacy- Vistara becomes first Indian airline to enable technology starting with BLR AirportThe Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru BLR has announced on July 22 the successful Early Go Live of its ambitious Digi Yatra project a fully biometric-based self-boarding solution for seamless flow from registration to boarding.The Airport has partnered with Vistara to launch the One-ID biometric platform technology developed and installed by Vision-Box which will enable passengers to breeze through BLR Airport.After the completion of the final phase by early next year it is expected to be the largest deployment of an end-to-end paperless biometric programme in Asia with over 350 passenger touchpoints at BLR Airport Terminal 1.The first milestone of the programme will enable passengers travelling on Vistara flight UK864 from Bengaluru to Mumbai to utilise this process without presenting travel documents at every touch point. This was made possible by the integration of Vistaras Departure Control System with the technology allowing effortless processing at the entry to the terminal passenger security screening and the boarding gate. All Vistara flights are expected to be integrated into the biometric boarding process at BLR Airport by October 2019.Over the next few months this process is expected to be integrated with check-in and self-bag-drop to include other domestic and international airlines at BLR Airport. In the final stage this technology will be integrated with the Digi Yatra Central Platform that is currently being architectured by the Central Governments Digi Yatra Foundation.Passengers can simply enrol their ID and biometric data combined with their flight details before entering the Terminal. As they travel through the airport passengers can put their travel documents away as they will be authenticated and verified at every touchpoint by state-of-the-art biometric technology. This process offers the highest degree of safety and security while ensuring stringent standards of privacy. The biometric data is used only for authentication and verification of passengers to assist the boarding process and not for recognition. In addition the passenger data is deleted within a few hours of flight completion.Hari Marar MD CEO at Bangalore International Airport Ltd. BIAL said BIAL is extremely excited to rollout this Digi Yatra-based biometric technology that has the potential to make the passenger experience at the BLR Airport seamless secure and enjoyable. As the gateway to a new India the BLR Airport would like to be a frontrunner amongst next-generation airport operation.There is an increasing need to offer seamless experiences and as a pioneer in the airport technology domain in India BIAL is committed to offering innovative ways to simplify the passenger journey while maintaining the highest standards of safety security and privacy. A select few passengers now have the opportunity to experience this sophisticated technology as part of this rollout he added. Once we trial the full end-to-end process successfully and integrate it into the Digi Yatra Platform being developed by the Digi Yatra Foundation the technology and process will be used extensively for seamless flow in our upcoming Terminal 2 Project as well Hari said.This project is another step in the transforming passenger journeys unleashing the power of the countrys first all-biometric flow operation where your face is your boarding pass.Vistaras Chief Information and Innovation Officer Mr. Ravinder Pal Singh said As an organization with innovation at its core we continue to keep a sharp focus on leveraging technology to make travelling increasingly seamless across customer touchpoints.Collaborating with organizations across the aviation ecosystem using technology to enable this biometric boarding technology is yet another step in this direction.We will continue to invest in cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead of the curve while we are laying our foundation for the future keeping todays need in consideration he stated.Vision-Box award winning platform Orchestra is the enterprise solution behind the end-to-end Seamless Flow experience.
