(Reuters) – American Airlines Group Inc said on Thursday it would offer its customers a mobile app from Nov. 18 to show COVID-19 testing and documentation requirements for their destination.
The app, VeriFLY, by software firm Daon, allows real-time verification of COVID-19 related credentials, such as diagnostic lab test results, and aims to streamline the check-in and verification process at the airport.
“Piloting this new solution is a direct response to our customers’ increasing desire to explore more international travel opportunities,” President Robert Isom said in a statement.
After verifying that the traveler’s data matches the country’s requirements, the app displays either a pass or a fail message.
The app will launch for flights from American’s hub in Miami to Jamaica.
