Etihad Airways has extended its ‘Verified To Fly’ travel document initiative to routes across its global network.
The service, launched earlier this month, enables travellers to validate their Covid-19 travel documents before arriving at the airport and can be accessed by visiting the airline’s Manage my Booking portal.
Etihad says the service speeds up check-in, and gives customers “confidence and peace of mind” as all documents are in one place.
Passengers are only sharing their data with the airline, with no third-party involvement, Etihad confirmed.
John Wright, vice president global airports and network operations, said: “Verified to Fly has proven hugely popular with our guests, as they get a fast track experience when checking in at the airport if using Verified to Fly. Removing guess work from the process, guests also value the assurance that when they arrive at the airport, they have already met all Covid travel requirements.
“We appreciate these are challenging times for travellers and this has been a key initiative to simplify our guests’ journeys as much as possible.”
