Auch Qatar Airways testet die IATA Travel Pass App …
Die International Air Transport Association versucht immer neue Lösungswege zu beschreiten. Seit einiger Zeit gibt es die Idee einer digitalen Reise-App, bei der Covid-19 Test oder Impfung gespeichert sind. Emirates und Etihad haben einen Testlauf gestartet. Qatar macht da nun auch mit.
Die Infos:
“Qatar Airways targets becoming the first airline in the Middle East to begin trialling the innovative new IATA Travel Pass ‘Digital Passport’ mobile app, in partnership with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), from March 2021. The trial will play an important role in the airline’s vision to have a more contactless, secure and seamless travel experience for its passengers.
The first phase of trials of the ‘Digital Passport’ will be rolled out on the airline’s Doha to Istanbul route, enabling passengers to receive COVID-19 test results and verify they are eligible to undertake their journey. It will also allow travellers to safely and securely share their verified ‘OK to Travel’ status with the airline and other stakeholders, even before their arrival at the airport.
IATA Travel Pass will also provide up-to-date information on COVID-19 health regulations helping travellers to ensure they meet the latest government entry requirements of their destination country.”
