The International Air Transport Association (IATA) had unveiled key design elements of the IATA Travel Pass.
The pass is a mobile app to help travellers easily and securely manage their travel in line with any government requirements for Covid-19 testing or vaccine information.
“Testing is the immediate solution to safely re-open borders and re-connect people. And eventually this is likely to transition to vaccination requirements.
“In either case, a secure system to manage Covid-19 testing or vaccination information is critical.
“The IATA Travel Pass is a solution that both travellers and governments can trust. And it is being built with data security, convenience and verification as top priorities,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA chief executive.
