The Civil Aviation Authority reiterated this Wednesday that the International Air Transport Association, together with the Government of the Republic of Panama and the Copa Airlines, are making progress in the creation of a mobile application called IATA Travel Pass, with the aim of helping users to travel safely and reliably, based on all the requirements established in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It details that the test phase started that this initiative is scheduled to begin next March on selected Copa flights from the Hub of the Americas in Panama City.
The statement emphasizes that this mobile application will allow passengers to check their travel itineraries with the health requirements of the
COVID-19 of their destination and validate that they comply with them.
“Panama becomes one of the first countries to test the IATA Travel Pass. Application that will allow users to manage their flights quickly, safely and complying with the required biosafety protocols”, highlights the AAC.
It is worth mentioning that using the IATA Travel Pass, developed by the International Air Transport Association, Copa Airlines passengers will be able to create a “digital passport” to easily and securely manage their travels in accordance with the government requirements for proof of
