Emirates rolls out IATA Travel Pass globally

Emirates is to roll out the IATA Travel Pass to all its destinations on six continents following successful trials launched in April. The airline expects the roll-out to be completed by October.

Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ chief operating officer, said: “Emirates continues to invest in technology and solutions, like IATA Travel Pass, so that we can deliver smooth journeys and contactless experiences for our customers while enabling our airport teams to handle document checks efficiently and in compliance with regulatory requirements.”

Nick Careen, IATA senior vice president operations, safety, and security said: “Emirates’ implementation of IATA Travel Pass across its global network cements its role as a key tool in managing the complex myriad of health credentials required for travel. By providing passengers with a one-stop-shop to demystify, manage and process these credentials through a secure automated process, they can arrive at the airport ready-to-fly using automated processes. This will avoid queuing and congestion for document checks – to the benefit of travelers, airlines, airports, and governments.”

IATA Travel Pass enables travelers to access more than 1,500 Covid-19 test labs while EU and UK citizens can also register their vaccine certificates on the app.
