SITA has launched Health Protect, a solution to help airlines, airports, governments and passengers share information on health tests or vaccinations needed during travel.
Successful trials have already been undertaken with travellers to the UAE, and will soon start at Milan Malpensa Airport.
SITA’s Health Protect seamlessly integrates with multiple travel pass schemes
SITA’s Health Protect allows airlines and passengers to submit required health-related documents such as PCR test results or vaccination history safely and securely to authorities, in line with specific government requirements.
A key benefit of Health Protect is its ability to seamlessly integrate with multiple travel pass or health passport schemes, bridging the gap between these schemes and aviation and border processes. By incorporating Advance Passenger Processing, the solution enables authorities to make an informed decision on whether a passenger can travel at the point of check-in, improving the safety of all passengers and avoiding costly return flights.
Passengers without the required documentation, or are considered high-risk, will be unable to check in for their flight, ensuring they do not travel to the airport. By facilitating the inclusion of health pass schemes into passenger processing systems, Health Protect minimises the operational and technical impact on carriers and ports. As well, it provides passenger certainty that they have the right documents before departure, vitally at a time when borders regulations change regularly.
At the airport, Health Protect also integrates with the existing airport passenger processing systems to verify the health status of the passenger at each point in the process using SITA Flex touchless passenger flow monitoring technology.
David Lavorel, CEO of airports & borders at SITA, said Health Protect will “bridge the gap between airlines resuming normal operations and governments’ strong focus on keeping control of Covid-19. Recovery from Covid-19 will take time and is complex but we believe that SITA can play a key role in enabling a safer, simpler travel experience for passengers.”
