Join us as Nick Careen from IATA discusses the IATA Travel Pass Initiative and how this
Travel Health App will ensure you are ready to travel!

To re-open borders without quarantine and restart aviation, governments need to be confident that they are effectively mitigating the risk of importing COVID-19. This means having accurate information on passengers’ COVID-19 health status.

Informing passengers on what tests, vaccines and other measures they require prior to travel, details on where they can get tested and giving them the ability to share their tests and vaccination results in a verifiable, safe and privacy-protecting manner is the key to giving governments the confidence to open borders. To address this challenge IATA will soon be launching the IATA Travel Pass, a digital platform for passengers.
