Air New Zealand says it will trial a new digital health pass designed to help streamline safe international travel.
The Travel Pass app, developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), will store Covid test results and vaccination details in one place that can be shared among airlines and border control agencies. The trial will start in April with flights between Auckland and the Australian city of Sydney.
New Zealand, which has a population of five million, has recorded just over 2,300 cases of Covid-19 and 25 deaths. Early on in the pandemic the country closed its borders entirely to almost all non-citizens or residents, going months without community transmission.
