Korean Air Trials Digital Health Verification on Trans-Pacific Routes
Korean Air pilots IATA Travel Pass on its Incheon-Los Angeles service, adding a major Asian carrier to the network of airlines standardising credential checks.
In May 2021, Korean Air conducted a trial of the IATA Travel Pass digital health-credential app on its Incheon to Los Angeles service, building on an internal test the previous month. The trial added Korean Air—one of Asia's leading carriers—to the expanding global roster of airlines piloting standardised digital COVID-19 documentation verification.
For Sri Lankan travellers considering North American routes via Seoul, this development signals that your health credentials and test results can move with you digitally, speeding up check-in and reducing the need to carry multiple paper documents. As more major carriers adopt the system, international travel becomes incrementally smoother.
