Nauru Airlines has adopted Ink Aviation’s Health APIS to help comply with the strict COVID-19 entry regulations that exist in Australia, Nauru and the surrounding South Pacific island nations.
Ink’s solution is able to verify passenger’s COVID-19 health status from paper-based test result certificates and multiple digital health wallets, as their adoption increases. This information can then be interactively assessed by destination governments in advance of a flight departing, helping to reduce the number of cases arriving inside a country’s borders. The airline will use Ink’s APIS to to securely validate and share the COVID-19 test status of passengers and crew prior to travel. Test results will be uploaded by authorised clinics and laboratories directly into the system.
“Passenger health and safety is our top priority,” said Geoff Bowmaker, CEO of Nauru Airlines. “With Ink Health APIS we can be confident we are only accepting passengers and crew on board who have received trusted negative COVID-19 test results without imposing a lengthy pre-departure process.”
Shawn Richards, CEO of Ink Aviation, added: “Nauru Airlines is one of our most endearing client relationships. We have worked closely to deliver tangible time-savings with a simplified process. The sooner governments can reopen borders, the sooner we can get back to normal life and at Ink, we are committed to making this process safe.”
Providing technology solutions to airports, airlines and ground handlers, Ink Aviation’s ecosystem covers mobile and desktop departure control systems and self-service hardware, to its Identity Management (One ID) platform that enables fully contactless passenger processing. Since the onset of the global pandemic it has been focused on introducing solutions that enable safer airline and cross border travel. It describes INK Health APIS as providing the necessary reassurance for countries to safely reopen their borders, by knowing the health status of every passenger – regardless of where they have come from or are travelling to.
