New Delhi: The Centre has introduced a fast-track programme at the Delhi airport aimed at cutting short the time taken to complete the immigration process from a minimum of 30 minutes to a few seconds.
Under the Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) introduced by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on June 22, biometrics are being used to grant pre-verified flyers a seamless experience for immigration both during departure and arrival. Work has begun to expand the programme to seven major airports – Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Cochin, and Ahmedabad. It will be available in 21 airports across the country soon.
“India is becoming an international destination and this programme is being introduced to make travel experience seamless and effortless for all. Eligible passengers will be allowed to utilise automated gates (e-gates) and bypass regular immigration queues for a seamless journey,” a senior MHA official told NDTV.
