SpiceJet to conduct a trial of IATA Travel Pass app for international travellers

One of India’s most popular airlines, SpiceJet, said on Thursday that it will conduct a trial of the IATA Travel Pass mobile application.

This application allows travellers to store and manage their verified certificates regarding Covid-19 tests and vaccines.

"The trial will be conducted on flights out of Mumbai to Male effective August 23, 2021," SpiceJet said in a statement.


They added that the IATA Travel Pass is a secure and efficient alternative to paper processes that are being used to manage health requirements.

This app also verifies the traveller’s Covid-19 status according to the governments’ health guidelines and border requirements.

The mobile app has been built by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which is a global airlines body that has around 290 airlines as its members.

The statement said SpiceHealth has been on-boarded by IATA as a lab partner for the Travel Pass trial. SpiceHealth is a healthcare company founded by SpiceJet's promoters Ajay Singh and Avani Singh.
