FROM THE BEGINNING OF APRIL, IN cooperation with the Internatio- nal Air Transport Association (IATA), Air Serbia will start testing the IATA digital passport (“IATA Travel Pass”), a mobile application that helps pa- ssengers organise their travels sim- ply and safely, in accordance with the regulations of countries pertai- ning to COVID-19 testing or vaccina- tion. In this manner, the Serbian na- tional airline will be among the first airlines in Europe to become part of this global initiative, the goal of whi- ch is the re-opening of borders wit- hout quarantines, as well as guaran- teeing safe travel and spurring the recovery of tourism and the aviati- on industry. The first stage of the trial wi- ll be carried out on Air Serbia flights between Belgrade and Zurich. It wi- ll last for several weeks and passen- gers will be invited to participate. “We are proud to be among the first in the world to test the digital pa- ssport. Once again, we have con- firmed our dedication to protecting the safety, health and well-being of passengers, as well as to creating an integrated and seamless user expe- rience,” said Air Serbia CEO Duncan Naysmith. “This innovative IATA solu- tion is an extraordinary initiative, whi- ch will provide passengers with the certainty that they meet all nece- ssary requirements to enter different parts of the world. We owe great gratitude to the Institute of Virology, Vaccines and Sera "Torlak" from Bel- grade. They will be directly conne- cted with IATA and without their su- pport and collaboration this pilot project would not be possible.” The IATA Travel Pass will allow passengers to store and manage data related to COVID-19 test results on their phones, as well as to share their verified status with the airline, in a safe and secure manner, before arriving at the airport. The IATA digital passport will also provide up-to-da- te information on health regulations regarding the novel coronavirus, hel- ping passengers verify whether they meet the latest requirements to en- ter their country of destination. “We’re proud to work with Air

na letovima Er Srbije između Beograda i Ciriha / The first stage of the trial will be carried out on Air Serbia flights between Belgrade and Zurich Serbia to make the IATA Travel Pa- ss available in Europe. This is the first step in making European and inter- national travel during the pandemic as convenient as possible, giving pe- ople the confidence that they are meeting all COVID-19 entry requi- rements by governments. As bor- ders re-open, the IATA Travel Pass will be further enhanced with mo- re capabilities to meet all govern- ments' testing or vaccination verifi- cation requirements, and Air Serbia’s customers will be among the first to have these services,” said Rafa- el Schvartzman, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Europe. Air Serbia passengers will have the opportunity to easily and simply create their own digital passport. Af- ter testing and/or vaccination, nati- onal reference laboratories will send protected information to the user’s app in a safe manner. The IATA Tra- vel Pass will then compare the ne- cessary requirements for travel wi- th the input user data, and everyone who meets the conditions for the- ir desired destination will get a green light for travel. The application, as a safe place for storing health infor- mation, will not only accelerate the check-in process for flights, but wi- ll also create the potential for conta- ctless travel in the future.
