Singapore Airlines to pilot digital COVID-19 travel pass.
Singapore Airlines will begin trialing a coronavirus digital travel pass developed by aviation's industry body next week, the carrier said yesterday.
It is the first airline to pilot the scheme as the pandemic-hit sector seeks to recover. The app, developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), will store information on passengers' health, including whether they have had virus tests or vaccines, to streamline travel as borders reopen.
Singapore's flag carrier said it would offer travellers heading from the city-state to London between March 15 and 28 the chance to participate in the pilot if they have a phone operating on the iOS system.
