New Delhi, March 29, 2021: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced the arrival at London’s Heathrow Airport of the first traveller using the IATA travel pass app to manage their travel health credentials.

“The successful implementation of IATA travel pass in this trial with Singapore Airlines passengers demonstrates that technology can securely, conveniently and efficiently help travellers and governments to manage travel health credentials. The significance of this to re-starting international aviation cannot be overstated,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s director general and CEO.

JoAnn Tan, acting senior vice president for marketing planning at Singapore Airlines, said digital health credentials will be essential as borders reopen and travel restrictions get progressively lifted worldwide according to the reports published in defenceaviationpost.com.

“The successful implementation of the IATA travel pass reflects Singapore Airlines’ goal of using secure digital solutions to verify health credentials and support a safe and seamless travel experience for our customers,” she said.
