Malaysia Airlines has announced plans to introduce a digital health pass for travel, which will be available from the airline’s mobile app – and will incorporate elements of Iata’s Travel Pass.

Malaysia Airlines will restore its double-daily Heathrow-Kuala Lumpur service from 30 June

The pass will allow passengers to make appointments with certified medical partners for any necessary pre-departure PCR Covid tests, or to upload certification of Covid-19 vaccination.


It will also allow passengers to verify their eligibility to travel before departure to ensure they are compliant with global travel restrictions, and share their status with local authorities.


Additionally, Malaysia Airlines said the digital ID would promote an increasingly contactless journey in future, combining health data and certification with typical travel documents.
