Mumbai airport eliminates ‘boarding pass stamping’ for domestic airlines

Mumbai: The Mumbai Airport has introduced Digi-Yatra, a technology-driven initiative that eliminates ‘boarding pass stamping’ for all domestic airlines operating out of Terminal 2 here, an official said on Monday.

This makes the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport the first in the country to introduce the latest technology, proposed by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).

The CSMIA described the initiative as a step towards adopting new technology and digitizing the travel experience of passengers, making it hassle-free.
