Paperless boarding at Chennai airport from 2020

Chennai: Boarding flights from the city airport will be a breeze for travellers from 2020, as the airport management is set to establish camera-enabled e-gates which use facial recognition technology to verify passengers’ identity. The system will be introduced by the end of the next year.

As part of the DigiYatra scheme, the Chennai airport is gearing up to introduce a biometric and face recognition system for paperless boarding of passengers from entry gates of the terminal to the boarding gates. The scheme aims to develop a digital ecosystem that will offer a seamless, consistent and paperless service experience at airports.

As part of the system, e-gates with cameras and scanners will be installed at entry gates of the terminals, checkin area, security check gates and boarding gates where passengers will be allowed based on face recognition technology. The e-gate at the entry gate of the terminal will capture the QR code of tickets and face of the passengers and will match it with the database to allow entry through the gates at check in, security and boarding.
