Virgin Atlantic has urged the UK government to accept digital apps confirming air passengers Covid status, as the airline started a one-month trial of Iata Travel Pass on flights between Heathrow and Barbados.
The airline announced last month that it would become the first UK carrier to test the Iata Travel Pass app and this trial started on Friday (23 April).
The Iata smartphone platform allows passengers to create a digital ID, including evidence of negative Covid-19 tests, find testing facilities and check they comply with the health regulations at their destination. Future updates of the app will include the incorporation of vaccination records.
