Etihad Airways to trial IATA Travel Pass on US, Canada flights until May 31

Passengers on Etihad Airways flights from Abu Dhabi to Chicago, New York, Washington and Toronto between now and May 31 will trial the IATA Travel Pass app for their COVID-19 health checks. “Etihad believes that a digital health passport solution will provide additional clarity and ease for travellers,” said Mohammad Al Bulooki, COO, Etihad Aviation Group “Etihad has partnered with IATA so that together a globally unified approach to a travel pass can be simplified to make travel easier once governments decide what regulations are required to cross borders in either direction.” To participate in the trial, guests download the IATA Travel Pass app from Apple's App Store and book an appointment with Life Diagnostics at Sultan Bin Zayed the First Street or BioGenix Labs at Masdar City. At the clinic, they must inform reception they are participating in the IATA Travel Pass trials and should be ready to show their passport and mobile device with the app downloaded.<br/>
