EVA Air has announced a pilot of AOKpass, the world’s most operationally advanced secure health certificate platform and app.
The pilot, which will be AOKpass’ first in Asia, will be available on flights between Taiwan Taoyuan Airport (TPE) and San Francisco (SFO) / Los Angeles (LAX).
Using the app, travellers will be able to securely verify their COVID-19 test results with the airline, from laboratories approved by local health authorities.
They will benefit from fast track channels at San Francisco and Los Angeles, while retaining the privacy of their personal health data.
EVA Air spokesperson, David Chen, commented: “It is vitally important that our passengers’ health is protected, their data is secure and they have a convenient travel experience.
“AOKpass supports all these three key aims and the pilot will be assisted by our trusted medical partner, MedAire.
“By running a six-week pilot we will be able to see the consistent benefits to our passengers.”
Bill Dolny, CEO of MedAire, specialists in providing medical and security support to the aviation and maritime industries, continued, “As organisations are starting to return to travel and operations, ICC AOKpass has been instrumental in ensuring that airlines, airports, and immigration authorities can deliver this safely and sustainably.
“AOKpass, and the extensive testing network that supports it, has already been used to process thousands of health passes, supporting travellers since September 2020.
“For the growing number of returning travellers, safety at scale is critical, as is continuing to provide assurance and renewed confidence in travel.
“EVA Air is to make this another successful implementation and step towards our collective industry goal to open the skies with safe travel once again.”
