India’s airports are undergoing a high-tech transformation, with AI, biometrics, automation, and cybersecurity revolutionizing the passenger journey.
📊 Key Highlights:
1️⃣ 83% of travellers say airports are adopting AI and tech at the right pace, fueling improved satisfaction and awareness.
2️⃣ 88% of passengers in India now spend more at airports—up from 60% globally—thanks to saved time (45% gain 10–30 mins; 27% up to 1 hr) from automated processes.
3️⃣ Contactless biometrics (DigiYatra) is live across 14 airports, with two more (Thiruvananthapuram, Mangaluru) in expansion, and over 9 million users registered.
4️⃣ SITA–AAI partnership rolling out Smart Path biometrics at 9 airports, and system upgrades across 43 airports to enhance passenger flow and contactless journey.
🔍 Why It Matters for CXOs & Stakeholders:
