Centre's New Programme Lets You Clear Immigration At Airports In Seconds

The Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveller Programme has already been implemented in Delhi and is being expanded to other airports.

Aiming to cut the time taken for completing the immigration process from a minimum of 30 minutes to mere seconds, the Centre has introduced a fast-track programme at the Delhi airport, which will be expanded to 20 other cities soon. 

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, Ahmedabad - and it will be available in 21 airports across the country soon.
