During the international trial, Digi Yatra is open to passengers flying on select international flights of which airlines?

  1. A.Air India and IndiGo
  2. B.Air India and SpiceJet
  3. C.IndiGo and Akasa Air
  4. D.Air India Express and Vistara

Correct answer

A. Air India and IndiGo

Explanation

The correct answer is Air India and IndiGo. Only these two carriers' selected international services are covered while the trial lasts, and the traveller must also be an Indian national holding an electronic passport. Options B, C and D each pair one correct carrier with another, or name two carriers outside the trial, which is the usual way such a question is set. Eligibility has a second part that is often asked: the passenger has to create an e-passport based Verifiable Credential on the Digi Yatra mobile application, by scanning the Machine Readable Zone of the passport, reading its embedded chip through the Near Field Communication feature of a compatible smartphone, and taking a selfie before the details are verified. The credential is then stored in the Digi Yatra wallet on the passenger's own device.
