LONDON – Qatar Airways (QR) is set to become the first airline in the Middle East to begin trialing IATA’s new ‘Digital Passport’ mobile app in March.
The first phase of the trials of the new Travel Pass initiative will be rolled out on the airline’s Doha-Istanbul route, enabling passengers to receive COVID-19 test results and verify they are eligible to undertake their journey. It will also allow travelers to safely and securely share their verified ‘OK to Travel’ status with the airline and other stakeholders prior to their arrival at the airport.
MIAMI – Today, the Israeli Government put in immediate effect the halt of all commercial flights to/from the country until the end of the month.
On the night of January 25, Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) shuttered to almost all flights due to great concerns over virus mutations. Even though the Jewish country leads the world in vaccinating its population against the coronavirus, the government decided to apply strict measures under evidence that link new infections with international travelers.
For the first time since the pandemic started, Israel prevented its own citizens from entering the country as all commercial flights are now banned from using Israeli aerospace or land at TLV, the country’s only international airport. Even immigrants who scheduled to return, under Israel’s repatriation program (Law of Return), will have to wait until the end of January.
MIAMI – American Airlines (AA) has scheduled new Boeing 777 flights such as its upcoming New York (JFK) to Athens (ATH), Tel Aviv (TLV), and Rio de Janeiro (GIG) routes along with Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Seattle (SEA) and Cancun (CUN).
American Airlines will launch new routes from New York JFK to both Athens and Tel Aviv thanks to its advancing partnership with JetBlue (B6). The partnership and the two new routes were announced in July 2020, but AA has finally opened reservations for JFK to ATH and TLV following the Department of Transportation’s approval of this new partnership.
