Maneesh Jaikrishna, Vice President Indian Subcontinent, Eastern and Southern Africa for SITA told "Their research shows that 70% of passengers in India said they would definitely use biometrics if given the option, removing the need to show a passport or boarding card at key points at airports". He added leveraging India's national Aadhaar biometric identity system, together with SITA's Smart Path technology, would be able to provide secure and efficient journey through the airports.



Recently Jaikrishna had announced at the Air Transport IT Summit in Jaipur that paperless travel would be a reality in India soon. Meanwhile when asked about paperless travel in view of Aadhaar's credibility being questioned on security issues, he said many more passengers were quickly adapting to innovations and technologies when it came to air travel.
