India to Launch Facial Recognition for International Air Travel in 2025

India is poised to implement facial recognition technology (FRT) for international air travel, with a pilot project scheduled for June 2025. This initiative, spearheaded by the Digi Yatra Foundation, aims to streamline airport procedures by eliminating the need for physical ID checks. The platform currently operates for domestic flights and is expected to expand its reach to international travelers through collaboration with immigration and visa-issuing agencies.
