Some 91% of the 9,055 travellers polled by Censuswide as part of an Amadeus study said they would be happy to embrace new health certification.


Nearly three-quarters of respondents said they would be happy for their health data to be stored electronically if allowed them to pass through airports with fewer face-to-face interactions.


A further 72% said they would be happy for their data to be held this way if it allowed them to travel to more destinations; 68% said they would be more likely to share health data with frequently used airlines if they were offered a way to store travel health data.
