SIA’s passengers were the first to test IATA’s Travel Pass. The airline is now studying which other routes the IATA’s Travel Pass app may be expanded to, indicated the CNA report.
SIA also shared that it plans to make use of the IATA Travel Pass framework, and integrate the entire digital health verification process into the SingaporeAir mobile app from mid-2021.
IATA, a global body representing about 290 airlines, plans to launch the travel pass by mid-April on the Apple platform, followed by the Android platform on a later date. More than 20 airlines, including THAI, Air New Zealand, and Japan Airlines are currently testing the travel pass.
