Air New Zealand to trial IATA Travel Pass app on Auckland-Sydney route in April

Air New Zealand has announced it'll be one of the first airlines to trial a Travel Pass app that aims to safely accelerate international travel amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The mobile app is being developed by the IATA as a "global and standardised solution to validate and authenticate all country regulations regarding COVID-19 passenger travel requirements". As vaccines are being rolled out around the globe, the app promises to help passengers easily and securely manage their travel documentation digitally in line with up-to-date government requirements. Air NZ will begin trialling the Travel Pass app on its Auckland-Sydney route in April for three weeks, with a version available for both iOS and Android devices.<br/>
