Emirates expands IATA travel pass coverage, integrates UAE’s Alhosn app

Published 28 Jun,2021 via Arab News - Economy DUBAI - Dubai carrier Emirates is expanding the implementation of the digital passport solution to 10 countries, as travel restrictions gradually ease.

The travel pass, developed by the International Air Transport Association, can now be used by travelers flying between Dubai and London, Barcelona, Madrid, Istanbul, New York, Moscow, Frankfurt, Charles De Gaulle, and Amsterdam.

Passengers can use the pass to access updated COVID-19 travel information, including locations of PCR test laboratories. They can also manage their personal documents on the platform, such as vaccination certificates and PCR results.

The Dubai-based airline seeks to roll out the IATA travel pass across its global network, it said in a statement carried by WAM.

“Over the past months, we have really accelerated our biometric, contactless and digital travel verification projects to provide our customers with even greater convenience and assurance when they fly with Emirates,” its CEO Adel Al-Redha said.

Emirates is also integrating the government-made application Alhosn with its check-in systems, allowing the airline to easily access passengers’ COVID-related records.

It will be implemented from next month.
