Travel solution: IATA introduces digital travel pass for global connectivity

In order to solve global travel issues amid COVID-19, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has introduced IATA Travel Pass. This is a digital solution for travellers who need to show their vaccination, recovery, and test results to authorities whenever they are travelling. IATA Travel Pass is a mobile app that will help travellers in saving and managing all kind of verified COVID-19 certifications.

IATA in a press release said. “Informing passengers on what tests, vaccines and other measures they require prior to travelling, details on where they can get tested and giving them the ability to share their tests and vaccination results in a verifiable, safe and privacy-protecting manner is the key to giving governments the confidence to open borders.”

Not only this, the app will help government officials to verify the authenticity of tests or vaccinations. This will also help airlines to provide accurate information to their passengers on test requirements and if they meet the travel requirements.

This certificate will be nationally and internationally recognised and provide travellers with accurate information on test requirements.

The app has following modules:

1) Registry of health requirements: This will allow travellers to find information on travel, testing, and vaccine requirements for their trip.

2) Registry of testing and vaccination centres: To aid passengers in finding testing and vaccination centres before/after arrival.

3) Lab app: This authorises medical labs to issue test results or vaccination certificates to passengers.

4) Travel Pass App: A digital passport that will verify the test/vaccination certificate of passengers that meet the standards, and share the rest result or the vaccination certificate with authorities.
