This part of a cooperation agreement signed by the carrier and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in May.

The travel pass integrates digital solutions such as no-touch air travel, biometric data and e-health certificates with COVID-19 test result and vaccination. 

With a quick and simple procedure, it is hoped to facilitate safe and easy travel between nations amid COVID-19. 

The airline hopes that the successful test of the electronic health passport will provide a basis for the Vietnamese Government to consider officially recognising this mechanism, speeding up the resumption of international flights in the near future.
