IATA travel pass successfully trialled on first international flight
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced the arrival at London’s Heathrow Airport of the first traveller using the IATA travel pass app to manage their travel health credentials.
“The successful implementation of IATA travel pass in this trial with Singapore Airlines passengers demonstrates that technology can securely, conveniently and efficiently help travellers and governments to manage travel health credentials. The significance of this to re-starting international aviation cannot be overstated,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.
JoAnn Tan, Acting Senior Vice President for Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines, said digital health credentials will be essential as borders reopen and travel restrictions get progressively lifted worldwide.
