Bob Skerstonas Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has been working developing a mobile application that would allow travelers to store and manage certifications for COVID-19 tests or vaccines. This app according to news articles is to be made available to download on android and iOS systems by March 2021. Information on the digital card is designed to protect personal information and only to show proof of testing or vaccinations. The goal is to have a universal vaccine card system that works for every country without imposing a quarantine on an incoming traveler(s). This would be a terrific card to have as I would like to come to Thailand, but cannot stay quarantined for 14 days in a claustrophobic environment and is a waste of time and money.

mtls2005 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yawn. Airline lobbying group makes proposal to increase air travel. Impact: none. They should worry about getting the airline infrastructure tuned up for a s l o w recovery. Getting pilots retrained, getting planes certified after storage, hiring back staff, jet fuel contracts, catering, etc. etc etc. These are things they can influence. They have zero control on the demand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
