Ethiopian Airlines in association with the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) for the implementation of the African Union (AU) Trusted Travel Pass to make continental travel easier and safer. Africa CDC has mobilized a broad multi-stakeholder public-private partnership with the help of its strategic partners. The partners in the program are the PanaBIOS Consortium and Econet. They will work towards enhancing the access to accurate health information, high costs, and inconvenience in cross border travel, and poor data for health policy and bi-security planning.
The Trusted Travel pass program will address the challenges being faced in the COVID-19 travel requirements and are met with minimal room for error and hassle to the traveling public.
Ethiopian Airlines has been introducing new technologies to make travel contactless and convenient amidst the pandemic. The new
partnership would help passengers by increasing their access to health information and providing for their safety.
The program will help to validate test and vaccination certificates and verify that they are sufficient for their route and share testing or vaccination certificates with airlines and authorities to facilitate travel. The solution will also avoid fraudulent documentation and make air travel more convenient.
