The entire aviation industry is hoping for an end to the pandemic. An imminent recovery also seems within reach after various pharmaceutical companies have found a suitable vaccine. In the background, the industry is already developing a strategy out of the crisis: a digital Covid-19 passport is to come.

It should be noted whether the respective passenger has undergone a corona vaccination - or not. The IATA, the umbrella association of airlines, announced last week that the development of such documentation is already in the final phase. So does it mean that only those who are vaccinated are allowed to fly? 

Officially, the main aim is to collect more information about the pandemic and to help passengers deal with the virus at their destination in order to avoid quarantine or other restrictions. The Australian airline Qantas shows that airlines are not deterred from introducing mandatory vaccinations for passengers. This has announced that it will only take vaccinated people with them on intercontinental flights, such as thehill.com reported.
