The civil aviation ministry has chosen Aadhaar as the digital identity needed for paperless airport entry and major Indian airports are expected to install e-gates to allow Aaadhar-based travel from next year, a top government official said.

At present, passengers have to show printed or mobile air tickets and a government identity card to enter airports. Under the new system, airport entry would be based on biometrics.

By January-end, the aviation ministry is expected to complete the process of creating a template document for instituting an Aadhaar-based system at airports, approved by security agencies, civil aviation secretary Rajiv Nayan Choubey, who has been pushing the project, said in an interview. Airports will then be allowed to adopt biometric readers and other technology vendors to implement the system.
