The IATA Travel Pass is seen as the key for countries to "open up" and restore their economies
The IATA Travel Pass is a global initiative designed to help determine the travel requirements for passengers during the Covid-19 era. It ensures reliable test results and establishes a secure, consistent flow of information between key parties, including governments, testing facilities, airlines, and travelers.
The Travel Pass app operates through four distinct steps:
- The first step: A global registration agency for health requirements, allowing passengers to verify the entry requirements for their intended destinations before traveling.
- Step two: Before departure, passengers must schedule and attend a COVID-19 test or vaccination at a facility designated by the local government and registered with IATA.
- Step three: Authorized laboratories and testing centers will provide secure certification for test results and vaccinations to passengers through the app.
- Step four: Passengers can manage their digital identity for a contactless journey: Create a digital version of their passport on their phone, receive and share COVID-19 test or vaccination certificates, and manage other travel documents.
Vietnam Airlines has become the first airline in Vietnam to implement the IATA Travel Pass, a digital health passport solution.
The IATA Travel Pass integrates several leading digital solutions, such as contactless travel, biometric data, and electronic health certifications, including COVID-19 test results and vaccination records. It offers convenience and efficiency, replacing traditional paper-based procedures. This application ensures the safe and consistent exchange of information between governments, testing facilities, airlines, and passengers.
Especially in the context of the ongoing pandemic, with many countries conducting widespread vaccination programs, the 'vaccine passport' is expected to play a pivotal role. It will act as a 'shield' to help countries confidently relax travel restrictions, aiding the swift recovery of the aviation industry, promoting trade, and driving economic growth while ensuring public health safety.
In Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines became the first airline in the country to sign an agreement with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to pilot the IATA Travel Pass, an electronic health passport application. This move by Vietnam Airlines plays a significant role in the recovery of international passenger transportation.
The electronic health passport is now seen as one of the most promising solutions for Vietnam to reopen its borders swiftly and safely, while also supporting the tourism and aviation sectors that have been heavily impacted by COVID-19 over the past year.
