Following a successful trial in April on select routes departing from its Dubai hub, Emirates has gradually expanded the IATA Travel Pass eHealth Passport pilot to passengers on 12 routes in June. The airline has now signed a contract with IATA to roll out the solution globally.
“We are delighted to have partnered with IATA from the pilot to the full rollout of the IATA Travel Pass eHealth Passport solution. We will continue to work closely with IATA on innovations that will make travelling safer and smoother for our passengers,” said Adel Al Redha, Emirates Chief Operating Officer.
The e-health passport is currently being offered to Emirates passengers departing from 50 cities and is expected to be fully rolled out across all of the airline's more than 120 destinations by October.
Key features of the IATA Travel Pass eHealth Passport
- Latest travel requirements repository: allows passengers to find accurate information about travel, testing, and vaccination requirements for flights.
- Check-in at testing centers: allows passengers to access a certified Covid-19 testing center at the point of departure to meet the requirements at the destination.
- Digitalization of paperwork: an application that allows passengers to manage travel documents digitally.
Passengers can download the app themselves and register using their passport to create a digital identity. Videos and details are available at:https://www.emirates.com/vn/vietnamese/experience/contactless-journey/
