Smart Travel Begins Here: Delhi Airport's Game-Changing Initiative

24 June 2024

The future of air travel is here, and it's being redefined by the synergy of technology and innovation. Across the globe, airports have embraced cutting-edge solutions to enhance passenger experiences, with global hubs setting benchmarks for efficiency, security, and comfort. In India, where the aviation sector is witnessing unprecedented growth, a transformative wave is reshaping the narrative-and leading this change is none other than Delhi Airport.

A new chapter in travel efficiency has unfolded with the Government of India's pioneering "Fast Track Immigration-Trusted Traveller Programme" (FTI-TTP). This initiative, launched on June 22, 2024, by the Hon'ble Minister of Home Affairs, Shri Amit Shah, positions Delhi Airport as the first in India to introduce FTI-TTP for Indian passport holders and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders. Terminal 3, the bustling heart of this gateway to the world, now offers a glimpse into the future of travel.

Imagine this: Travellers disembarking from their flights are no longer just stepping off the plane; they're stepping into a realm designed for ease, efficiency, and comfort. With FTI-TTP, the days of long immigration queues are becoming a thing of the past. Instead, passengers are greeted by sleek, dedicated e-gates that seamlessly guide them through the process, ensuring their journey is nothing short of world-class.

At its core, the FTI-TTP leverages advanced technology to streamline the emigration and immigration processes. By utilizing biometric e-gates, Indian passport holders and OCI cardholders can bypass traditional queues, enjoying a faster and more efficient passage through the airport. This initiative is a testament to how innovation can revolutionize the travel experience, making it not just smoother but also smarter.

Here's how you can embark on this seamless journey:

Register for FTI-TTP:

Visit the government's official website at www.ftittp.mha.gov.in and fill out the required details.
The Bureau of Immigration will verify your information.
Once approved, you'll receive an email or SMS with instructions to complete your registration by enrolling your biometrics-fingerprints and facial image-at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) or a dedicated counter at Delhi Airport.

Navigating the FTI-TTP Process at the Airport:

At departure, present your boarding pass and visa at the check-in counter.
With your boarding pass in hand, proceed to the TTP e-gates in the Immigration area.
Scan your passport and boarding pass at the first e-gate. If both are verified, move seamlessly to the next e-gate.
At the second e-gate, your face will be scanned. Once verified, your emigration process is complete.
Arriving passengers will follow a similar, streamlined procedure upon arrival.

The FTI-TTP isn't just a programme; it's a paradigm shift in how we perceive travel. By embracing technology and focusing on passenger convenience, it transforms what used to be a tedious process into a swift, effortless journey.

As Delhi Airport takes the lead in this groundbreaking initiative, it cements its position as not just a hub for flights but a beacon of innovation. This is the future of travel-where efficiency meets sophistication, and every journey becomes a pleasure.

The Government of India plans to launch the FTI TTP services in leading Indian Airports in the months to come.
