Quarantines are still the order of the day for virtually all countries. New clusters in Hong Kong mean the Singapore-Hong travel bubble is as distant as ever, although other bubbles are in the offing, such as between Singapore and Australia. While it certainly makes sense for airlines to start looking at exactly how technology will aid travellers when the pandemic abates, the Asia-Pacific air transport sector remains locked down. “Through both solutions, we hope our customers can be assured of a more convenient, efficient and reliable experience when they travel with us,” says Scoot chief executive Campbell Wilson. “These, among other initiatives by Scoot, not only support the gradual re-opening of borders with robust safeguards in place, but also aim to meet customers’ expectations in a post-COVID world.”

The results can be obtained through a QR code, and Scoot is trialling a verification solution from a company called Affindi, set up by SIA’s majority shareholder, sovereign wealth fund Temasek.

SIA low-cost unit Scoot, meanwhile, made no mention of IATA’s Travel Pass or CommonPass, but says it is trialling “new digital solutions for Covid-19 tests and verification at check-in.” Its initiative includes a portal for booking pre-departure tests.

It conducted a similar trial in October 2020 between Hong Kong and Singapore. Similarly, Qantas trialled CommonPass on a recent repatriation flight from Frankfurt to Darwin.Ĭathay’s trial occurred on 15 March, but was restricted to pilots and cabin crew, who used CommonPass and test records to create a digital travel pass for its CX880 service to Los Angeles. Korean Air will run its Travel Pass trial in May on its KE011 Seoul Incheon-Los Angeles service following an internal trial in April, while ANA and Thai did not provide details of how their trials will be conducted.Ĭathay Pacific, a member of the IATA Travel Pass Advisory Group, elected to conduct its trial with another app, CommonPass, which was developed by the Commons Project, The World Economic Forum, and others. This was followed by Thai Airways on 13 March and Korean Air on 18 March, both of whom will use the IATA app. All Nippon Airways announced on 10 March it would conduct a Travel Pass trial. SIA’s Travel Pass flight comes amid a spate of announcements by regional carriers about travel passes. The system is backed by IATA’s Timatic registry, which offers and exhaustive list of global testing and entry requirements. The app allows them to view their test results and confirms their status to fly. The carrier says passengers can book a pre-flight Covid-19 test at one of seven local clinics, where they can register with the app. SIA’s trial will run during the second half of March. “The significance of this to restarting international aviation cannot be overstated.” “The successful implementation of IATA Travel Pass in this trial with Singapore Airlines passengers demonstrates that technology can securely, conveniently and efficiently help travellers and governments to manage travel health credentials,” said IATA director-general Alexandre de Juniac.

I would geatly appreciate if you guys, who had bought the Cathay Pacific Asia Pass, can tell me when you got the final ticket or your experience with Cathay Pacific Airline. To this point, I'm getting really pissed. If I want anything faster than that, I need to pay a rush fee to Cathay Pacific, and blah blah blah. My travel agent also told me that Cathay pacific usually issues flight ticket only when it is close to the actual day of departure (> 7 days before). So I don't really know which party is the one that holding up the line. I'm also getting conflicting stories from both sides Cathay Pacific said that the flights have been confirmed and they are waiting the travel agency to send them money before issuing the final ticket, but my travel agent said otherwise. I'm quite upset with my travel agent and Cathay Pacific for taking such a long time to process my ticket. However, I still don't have my actualy tickets/borading pass yet. I recently bought an Asia Pass for my trip to Asia scheduled on October 7.
