GMR CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said that capturing the biometrics of people on the move – without slowing them down, especially at airports where long queues can lead to costly delays – is crucial.
“We are glad to partner with IDEMIA’s Passenger Flow Facilitation solution, which will enable and speed up passenger clearance and increase security with embedded anti-spoofing capabilities with the least manual intervention,” GMR CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said.
French company IDEMIA has deployed biometric and digital technologies at over 250 airports across the globe including at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
“We are thrilled to collaborate and partner with GMR Group for DigiYatra, yet another exemplary digitalization initiative of the Government of India. As a market leader for passenger flow facilitation solutions, we strive to constantly innovate to safeguard passenger trust and help pave the way for even smoother and more secure future travel,” IDEMIA India, India Regional President, Matthew Foxton said in a statement.
