International airline industry initiates trial of COVID-19 travel pass ANI | Updated: Mar 17, 2021 15:41 IST
Seoul [South Korea], March 17 (ANI): The International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Monday started the trial of a travel pass designed for the pandemic era, reported Asia Times.
The IATA initiated a two-week pilot trial of the digital travel pass on Singapore Airlines Singapore-London route.
The initiative is overdue, for perhaps no global sector has been as hard hit by COVID-19 as air travel.
Last year, international passenger demand was 75.6 per cent below 2019 levels. Asia-Pacific airlines full-year traffic plunged 80.3 per cent in 2020 compared with 2019, the deepest decline for any region, reported Asia Times.
