IATA Travel Pass Trial to commence on Qatar Airways flights

Qatar Airways will become the first airline to launch a trial of the IATA digital travel health pass. Etihad is also due to start trialling the app soon. Qatar Airways is hopeful that the pass will facilitate its planned transition towards a contactless passenger journey.

“We are the industry’s firmest advocate for introducing digital solutions to help passengers safely and seamlessly navigate complex and ever-changing entry restrictions across the globe,” said Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways group chief executive.

“We have confidence in the credibility of the Iata Travel Pass as the industry’s most reliable and innovative solution given its strong data privacy compliance, long-standing entry rules engine and ability to provide an end-to-end solution.”
