RJ to implement IATA Travel Pass

AMMAN — The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced the intention of Royal Jordanian (RJ) to implement the IATA Travel Pass "gradually". In a statement on Wednesday, IATA Director General Willie Walsh said the IATA Travel Pass is a health certificate that will enter the operational phase after months of testing.

Walsh said that the digital wallet solution has "proven its effectiveness in managing and organising traveller health data," a measure required by governments worldwide, the Jordan News Agency reported citing the statement.

The largest airlines in the world will soon provide the IATA Travel Pass service for travellers, he said, stressing that the pass will reduce congestion facing airlines and airports.

IATA has launched an application via mobile phones called (IATA Travel Pass) that highlights a package of travel requirements, which helps travellers present their verified travel health credentials (vaccine or test certificates) to meet COVID-19 entry restrictions.

More than 52 countries worldwide have operated the new e-service, according to IATA.
