EVA in digital pilot for COVID-19 test result confirmation

EVA Air is working with digital-solution-provider Affinidi and joining Singapore Changi Airport in a pilot program that uses a digital platform to verify passengers’ PCR test results for its Singapore-Taipei flights. The airline plans to extend this service to flights from Malaysia and Indonesia to Taipei and is evaluating introduction of digital systems on other routes based on trial outcomes. When the epidemic started, EVA began monitoring digital verification platform development and cross-border application standardization that will enable international systems to connect and help prevent further spread of the pandemic. EVA is also working with airlines and industry organizations to implement a reliable digital platform for verifying passengers’ PCR test results and vaccine injection records. Singapore just began requiring QR Codes for PCR test results from medical institutions in March 2021. At airports with Affinidi’s platform, airline ground staff can scan the QR code and quickly determine the authenticity of test results, including the name of the medical institution, date of the test and whether the passenger meets relevant policy requirements in their destination country. <br/>
